Description

Keep your brake shoes held firmly against the backing plate with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Hold Down Spring HW1157. This steel hold down spring installs on front or rear drum brakes across hundreds of classic applications, including the 1965-1972 AMERICAN MOTORS AMBASSADOR [All], 1960-1962 CHEVROLET IMPALA [All] and 1963-1972 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER [All] — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Mechanically, the hold down spring applies tension that clamps the shoe to the backing plate while still allowing the shoe to pivot and center on the drum. Over years of heat cycling a spring can lose tension or fatigue; if a weak or broken hold down spring is behind a rattling, dragging or misaligned shoe, this replaces it.

Steel construction: made of quality materials for reliable, long service.
Direct replacement: designed to install and perform like the original on the listed applications.
Front or rear: serves front and rear drum brake positions as cataloged.
Standard Replacement grade, backed by product experts and more than a century of automotive experience.

Made in the United States.
