Carlson Drum Brake Hardware Kit P/N:H7278
Help keep your rear drum brakes working as they should with the Carlson drum brake hardware kit, part number H7283, a replacement hardware set designed to support consistent, balanced braking. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1983-1989 Nissan Sentra, 1990-1991 Chevrolet Lumina APV and 1982-1990 Chevrolet Celebrity. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Brake shoes and their hardware work as a team, and springs and adjusters can weaken or corrode with age. Carlson advises changing the hardware whenever the brake shoes are replaced. That way the new friction material works with fresh hardware, which is intended to help return the brakes to like-new performance.
Signs the hardware may need replacing include rattling or noise from the rear drums, shoes that drag or don't fully release, uneven shoe wear, or a brake pedal that sits lower as the adjuster stops taking up slack. If worn hardware is the cause, this Carlson brake hardware kit replaces it. Inspect the shoes and drums at the same time.
