Refresh your rear drum brakes in one go with the Carlson Drum Brake Hardware Kit 17370, an application-specific set of the small pieces that keep drum brake shoes located, tensioned, and quiet. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1999-2003 Mazda Protege — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details — and gathers the return springs, hold-down springs, adjuster assemblies, and retaining pieces that wear alongside your brake shoes.
- Complete hardware assortment: includes anti-rattle clips, seals, pins, and dust boots along with drum shoe return springs, hold-down springs, and adjuster assemblies to help maintain consistent, balanced braking.
- OE-quality build: matches Original Equipment (OE) quality specifications, manufactured to tight tolerances with quality materials.
- Quieter operation: fresh springs and clips help deliver a quieter, more efficient braking system by keeping the shoes properly tensioned and free of rattle.
- Service-friendly: contains the hardware needed for the job — industry practice is to replace worn drum hardware whenever the brake shoes are replaced.
Tired springs and stretched clips let shoes drift, rattle, and wear unevenly; if worn hardware is behind those issues, this kit replaces those pieces during a shoe service.
