Dynamic Friction Company Drum Brake Shoe Set P/N:1901-0168-00
Keep the wheels of your air-cooled Volkswagen slowing smoothly with the Dynamic Friction Drum Brake Shoe Set 1901-0269-00, a Premium Service front drum shoe set. It fits the front position on the 1964-1977 Volkswagen Beetle, the 1965-1972 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and the 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level detail.
Field- and lab-checked for consistent, dependable service. Drum brake shoes press outward against the inside of the brake drum to slow the wheel, and worn or contaminated linings can show up as reduced braking, noise, or grabbing. If worn front shoes are the cause, this set replaces them. Best practice is to service both sides of the axle together for even, balanced braking.
