Keep your rear drum brakes properly tensioned, quiet, and retracting the way they should with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit 370-74002. This rear-axle drum brake hardware kit installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1958-1977 Volkswagen Beetle, 1958-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, 1971-1980 Volkswagen Super Beetle, and 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing, refreshing the small springs, clips, and retaining pieces that hold the shoes in position and return them after each stop.
Worn, stretched, or corroded drum hardware can let shoes drag, chatter, or fail to return, so replacing this hardware whenever you service the drum brakes helps restore proper shoe action. Sold as an axle kit (not per side), so a single kit covers the rear axle.
