Keep your front drum brakes operating the way they should with the Beck/Arnley Drum Brake Hardware Kit 084-0421 (also written 0840421). This front drum brake hardware kit installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1958-1979 Volkswagen Beetle, the 1958-1965 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and the 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing — see the Buyer's Guide tab for full engine details. The small hardware pieces in a drum brake wear, stretch, and corrode over time, so refreshing them when you service the shoes helps the assembly retract, seat, and hold as designed.
Signs the front drum hardware may need replacing include weak or dragging shoe return, rattles from the drum, and corroded or fatigued springs and clips found during a brake service. Replace worn hardware alongside your shoes for consistent front drum brake operation.
