Keep your drum brake shoes clamped firmly against the backing plate with the Dorman First Stop Brake Shoes Hold Down Kit HW4030. Cataloged for front and rear drum brake service, this hardware kit is a direct-fit replacement across a huge range of classic Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and American Motors vehicles — including the 1963-1966 and 1968-1971 Chrysler 300, the 1966 and 1968-1978 Dodge Charger, the 1965-1971 Ford Mustang, and the 1965-1974 American Motors Ambassador. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 173 applications.
The hold-down springs, pins and retainers in this kit hold each brake shoe against the backing plate so the shoes stay properly located while allowing them to move as the brakes apply and release. When the original hardware weakens or corrodes, shoes can rattle or shift — this kit renews those pieces during a drum brake job.
Item grade: standard replacement. Package contents: one Brake Shoes Hold Down Kit; the listed applications use one kit each. Country of origin: China.
