Refresh every worn spring, clip, and retainer in one pass with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit 370-44000. This DFC drum brake hardware kit drops in as a replacement for a wide range of classic trucks and SUVs, including the 1966-1975 Ford Bronco, 1974-1978 Jeep CJ5, 1976-1978 Jeep CJ7, and 1965-1973 Jeep Wagoneer — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 19 applications. It is cataloged for both the FRONT and REAR drum brakes and is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so it services both wheels on the axle.
Drum brake hardware is the small-parts backbone of the brake: the return springs, hold-down clips, and retainers that keep the shoes positioned against the backing plate and pull them back after each stop. Tired hardware can let shoes drag, rattle, or wear unevenly.
Whenever you replace drum brake shoes, refreshing the hardware at the same time is a smart practice to keep the shoes seated and returning correctly.

Is this kit for the front or rear brakes?
It's cataloged for both FRONT and REAR drum brakes on the listed vehicles. It's sold as an axle kit, not per side, so one kit covers both wheels on that axle.
What does a drum brake hardware kit include?
These kits supply the small hardware — return springs, hold-down clips, and retainers — that positions the brake shoes and returns them after each stop. Refer to the manufacturer listing for the exact contents.
Should I reuse my old brake hardware?
Springs and clips fatigue with heat and age, which can cause drag, noise, or uneven shoe wear. Replacing the hardware whenever you service the shoes helps keep the drum brakes working properly.
How many kits do I need?
Each kit is sold as an axle kit that covers both wheels on one axle, not per side. If you're servicing both the front and rear axles, you'll need one kit for each axle.
