Press fresh, precision-ground friction squarely against the brake drum with the Wagner Brake Drum Brake Shoe Z197R, a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of vintage Buicks — including the 1940-1942 Century Series 60, 1946-1949 Roadmaster Series 70, 1950-1958 Special and Super, 1959-1960 Invicta, and 1961-1970 Electra and LeSabre (engine: All). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications. As the drum turns, this shoe forces its friction lining outward against the drum to slow the wheel.
- OE-matched friction: organic friction material that is precision-ground for optimal brake performance and to maximize friction-to-drum contact.
- Key specs: sized for a 12.000 in brake drum with a 2.250 in shoe width; friction material is riveted, 0.250 in thick (primary) and 0.290 in thick (secondary). FMSI S197R.
- Front or rear: cataloged for front and rear drum brake applications depending on the specific vehicle.
- Mounting hardware: not included — consult the vehicle service information for the correct hardware and whether any of it may be reused.
Drum brake shoes wear as a set, so replace the shoes on both sides of the axle together as a matched pair for even, balanced braking. Sold individually; order the quantity your application requires. Signs the shoes may need replacing include reduced braking, squealing or grinding, or a pulsating brake pedal — diagnose the cause before replacing. Country of origin: China.
