Carlson Drum Brake Hardware Kit P/N:17284
Carlson 17184 front drum brake hardware kit for the 1977-1979 Volkswagen Beetle and other vehicles replaces the springs, clips and pins in a drum brake. Replace the hardware whenever the brake friction material is replaced.
Rattling or clicking at the wheel, uneven braking or a brake that drags can mean the hardware has worn or weakened. These signs alone do not prove this kit is the problem, since worn brake shoes can produce some of them too. The 1977-1979 Volkswagen Beetle takes one kit.
This kit fits the 1977-1979 Volkswagen Beetle and the 1971-1979 Volkswagen Super Beetle, and it matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications.
