Keep your rear drum brakes quiet and consistent with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit 370-42000, a direct-fit replacement for the rear brakes on a wide range of classic AMC and Jeep models — including the 1984-1989 Jeep Cherokee, 1987-1989 Jeep Wrangler, 1978-1986 Jeep CJ7, 1970-1978 AMC Gremlin, and 1960-1972 AMC Ambassador. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of the 22 covered applications.
This kit refreshes the small springs, clips, and retaining hardware that hold the rear drum brake shoes in place and return them after each stop, so worn or fatigued hardware doesn't lead to noise, uneven shoe movement, or drag.
Sold as an axle kit, not per side, so it services both rear wheels. Because worn hardware often accompanies a shoe replacement, this is a smart part to install alongside new rear shoes for a complete, balanced rear brake service.
What does this drum brake hardware kit include and do?
It supplies the springs, clips, and retaining hardware that hold the rear drum brake shoes and return them after each stop, replacing worn or fatigued original hardware.
Is this a front or rear kit?
It is a rear drum brake hardware kit. Confirm your vehicle uses rear drum brakes on the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
Is this sold per wheel or per axle?
It is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so one kit services both rear wheels on the axle.
Will this fit my vehicle?
It fits many classic AMC and Jeep models, such as the 1984-1989 Jeep Cherokee and 1960-1972 AMC Ambassador. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for all 22 applications.
Should I replace the hardware when I install new brake shoes?
It's good practice. Worn springs and clips often accompany worn shoes, so fitting fresh hardware helps the new shoes seat, retract, and wear evenly.
