- Position: Rear
Worn hardware can show up as rattling from the rear brakes, shoes that drag, or springs and clips that look bent, rusty or broken during a brake service. If the hardware is the cause, this kit replaces it. During the service, look over the springs and clips with the brakes cool before ordering, since worn shoes or a stuck adjuster can also make noise or drag.
