Rebuild your rear drum brakes the right way with the Dorman First Stop Drum Brake Hardware Kit HW7437 — a direct-fit replacement designed to match the original hardware for the 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze [All] and the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited [All]. It supplies the rear drum brake springs and retaining pieces needed for a proper shoe service.
- Spring and retainer set: includes shoe return springs, hold-down springs with pins and retainers, a shoe spring, and strut springs.
- Access plugs included: the kit adds access plugs; a cable guide and mounting hardware are not included.
- Color-matched components: color-matched like components and colored springs help place each piece correctly during assembly.

Drum brake hardware retains the shoes against the backing plate and returns them after each stop; over time the springs can weaken or corrode. If worn or fatigued hardware is behind noisy, dragging, or uneven rear brakes, replacing it during a shoe service restores proper spring tension. This kit is cataloged for FMSI 992 and a 10 in x 1.62 in brake shoe. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether any may be reused. Country of origin: China.
