Carlson Drum Brake Hardware Kit P/N:H2301
Keep your rear drum brakes working the way they should with the Carlson drum brake hardware kit, part number H7317, designed to help deliver a quieter, more efficient braking system. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2008 Toyota Matrix and the 2003-2008 Pontiac Vibe. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Drum brake hardware holds the brake shoes in position and helps return them after each stop. That hardware can fatigue with age and use, so Carlson advises replacing it whenever the brake shoes are replaced. Industry experts agree that new friction material calls for new hardware.
Position: rear. If you are servicing the rear drums, install this Carlson brake hardware kit at the same time as the shoes so the new friction material works with new hardware.
