Refresh the worn springs, clips, and adjusting hardware on your rear drum brakes with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit 370-47017 (also written 37047017). This kit installs on the REAR axle and drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier, 2003-2005 Pontiac Sunfire, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, 2005-2008 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit, 2006-2008 Chevrolet HHR, 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2007-2008 Pontiac G5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Fresh hardware keeps the shoes properly located, tensioned, and returning correctly against the drums, so the brakes apply and release as intended. Because worn springs and clips are a common cause of drum-brake noise and uneven shoe wear, replacing them whenever you service the shoes is good practice. This is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so it covers the complete rear axle in one package.
What position does this kit fit?
This is a REAR drum brake hardware kit. It supplies the springs, clips, and adjusting hardware for the rear axle on the listed applications.
Is this sold per side or per axle?
It is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so one kit covers the complete rear axle.
What vehicles does the 370-47017 fit?
It fits applications such as the 2003-2005 Chevrolet Cavalier, 2005-2008 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2006-2008 Chevrolet HHR, 2003-2007 Saturn Ion, and 2007-2008 Pontiac G5. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Should I replace the hardware when I do the brake shoes?
It's good practice. Worn springs and clips are a common cause of drum-brake noise and uneven shoe wear, so replacing them during a shoe service helps the brakes apply and release correctly.
Can this kit reduce brake noise?
Fresh hardware helps reduce noise and vibration by keeping the shoes properly tensioned and located. If worn hardware is the cause of your noise, this kit replaces it; diagnose the cause first.
