This rear brake drum is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2003 Ford Escort and the 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer — search it as a Ford Escort brake drum and this is the piece that houses the brake shoes and provides the friction surface they press against to slow the wheel. It arrives new in the box, ready to install with no modifications required.

For even, balanced braking, it's best to service both rear drums as a matched pair. If a worn or damaged drum is the cause of your braking issue, this replaces it on the listed applications.
