Keep the rear drum brakes on your classic GM, Jeep, Dodge or Checker working smoothly with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit (MPN 370-46003, also written 37046003). This DFC kit supplies the rear-axle springs, retainers and small hardware that hold the brake shoes in proper position, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a broad range of applications including the 1977-1996 Chevrolet Caprice, 1977-1985 Chevrolet Impala, 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1977-1989 Buick LeSabre, 1987-1992 Cadillac Brougham, 1984-1991 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and many more — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full 50-vehicle list.
Sold as an axle kit rather than per side, so one box covers the rear axle. When old return springs, hold-down springs and retainers lose tension they can cause dragging, uneven shoe wear or noise — refreshing them during a drum brake service helps restore proper shoe action on the listed applications. Always replace worn drum brake hardware whenever you reline the shoes.
What position does this hardware kit fit?
It is a REAR drum brake hardware kit, supplying the springs, retainers and small hardware for the rear axle on the listed applications.
Is this sold per wheel or per axle?
It is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so one kit covers both rear wheels on the axle.
What does a drum brake hardware kit do?
It provides the return springs, hold-down springs and retainers that hold the brake shoes in position and let them return after each stop, keeping the drum brakes working properly.
