Keep your rear parking brake operating smoothly with the Dynamic Friction Company Parking Brake Hardware Kit 370-54046 (also written 37054046). This rear-axle drum/parking brake hardware kit supplies the springs, retainers, and small hardware that hold the shoes in place and return them after each application. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer, 1996-2002 Lincoln Town Car, and 1996-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
Fresh hardware is inexpensive insurance during any rear brake service: tired return springs and worn retainers can leave shoes dragging, rattling, or slow to release. This kit is sold as an axle kit, not per side, so it covers the rear axle in a single package. If worn parking-brake hardware is the cause of your drag or noise, replacing it with this kit restores proper spring tension and shoe retention.
