Keep your rear drum brakes operating quietly and smoothly with the Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Hardware Kit 370-74012 (also written 37074012). This rear-axle kit bundles the springs, retainers, and adjusting components that hold the brake shoes in position and return them after each stop, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2012 Volkswagen Jetta (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level applications).
Worn, stretched, or corroded return springs and hold-down hardware are common signs this kit may need replacing, since fatigued springs can leave shoes dragging or rattling. DFC sells this as an axle kit rather than per side, so it services both rear wheels. If failed hardware is the cause of your drum brake noise or drag, this kit replaces those parts; always refresh the hardware whenever the shoes are serviced.
