- OE-quality build: matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications, manufactured to tight tolerances with quality materials.
- Ready to install: contains the hardware needed for a straightforward installation.

Springs, clips and adjusters fatigue and corrode with heat and miles, which can lead to rattles, uneven shoe travel and inconsistent adjustment. Industry best practice is to change this hardware whenever the brake shoes are replaced so the new friction material seats and works as intended.
