Help keep your drum brake shoes held in place, quiet, and correctly tensioned with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit 370-48000. This kit installs as a direct-fit FRONT drum brake hardware set for many classic GM vehicles, among them the 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova and 1965-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A drum brake hardware kit supplies the small springs and retainers 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 return and seat the way they should.
If worn, stretched, or corroded hardware is causing dragging shoes or noise 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?
This is a FRONT drum brake hardware kit for the listed applications.
What does a drum brake hardware kit do?
It supplies hardware such as springs and retainers 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 many classic GM vehicles such as the 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro, 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova and 1965-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle. 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 and noise. Follow the service procedure.
