This spring holds the shoe against the backing plate while still allowing it to pivot and self-center during braking.
- Rear drum hardware: a hold-down spring for the rear drum brake shoes on the listed applications.
- Raybestos R-Line: part of the Raybestos R-Line brake hardware program.
- Made in the United States.
Rattling from the rear drums, a shoe that shifts on the backing plate, or uneven shoe wear can be signs this hardware may need replacing; if a weak or broken hold-down spring is the cause, this replaces it. The listed applications use two per vehicle — this listing is for one, so order the quantity your brake job requires.
