A drum brake hardware kit supplies the small springs, retainers, and adjusting hardware that hold the brake shoes in position, return them after each stop, and keep the assembly properly tensioned. Refreshing this hardware when you service the shoes helps the shoes seat and self-adjust the way they should.
If worn, stretched, or corroded hardware is causing dragging shoes, noise, or poor adjustment on your front drums, this kit replaces those components. Diagnose the cause before servicing, and replace the shoes and hardware as directed by the service procedure.
Is this a front or rear drum brake hardware kit?
The catalog lists this as a FRONT drum brake hardware kit. Confirm the correct application for your vehicle using the Buyer's Guide tab before ordering.
What does a drum brake hardware kit include?
It supplies the springs, retainers, and adjusting hardware that hold the brake shoes in place, return them after each stop, and keep the drum brake assembly properly tensioned.
Is this sold per wheel or for the whole axle?
It is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so one kit covers both front wheels on the axle rather than a single wheel.
Does this kit fit my vehicle?
It fits classic GM applications such as the 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1965-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova, and others. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Should I replace the hardware when I install new brake shoes?
Refreshing the springs and hardware with new shoes is good practice, since worn or fatigued hardware can cause dragging, noise, and poor self-adjustment. Follow the service procedure.
