Hold your vehicle steady on any grade with the Dorman - HELP Parking Brake Strut / Drum Brake Bar Lever (MPN 21158). In a drum brake, this strut is the bar that links the two brake shoes — when the parking brake is applied, it helps spread the shoes outward against the drum so the vehicle stays put.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this parking brake strut do?

In a drum brake it's the bar linking the two shoes. When the parking brake is applied, it helps spread the shoes outward against the drum so the vehicle is held in place.

Why is it listed under two names?

It's cataloged as both a Parking Brake Strut and a Drum Brake Bar Lever — the same component known by both names, so you'll see either term used interchangeably.

What vehicles does it fit?

It's a direct-fit replacement for many Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Plymouth models, including the 1987-2002 Dodge Dakota, 1990-2001 Jeep Cherokee and 1997-2002 Jeep Wrangler. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.

What are the signs this part may need replacing?

If the strut is bent, worn or corroded and it is the cause, the parking brake may not hold or engage properly. Diagnose the brake system first, since other components can cause the same symptom.

The package contains one parking brake strut, measuring about 5.5 inches long with a brass color. Country of origin: China.
