Wagner Brake Drum Brake Shoe P/N:Z945
Refresh the braking friction in your classic GM drum brakes with the Wagner Brake Z127 Drum Brake Shoe. A drum brake shoe carries the friction lining that presses outward against the inside of the rotating drum to slow the wheel, so a worn or contaminated lining is a common reason for reduced braking or noise. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications, including the 1953-1968 Cadillac DeVille, 1965-1968 Cadillac Calais, 1952-1964 Cadillac Series 62, 1962-1964 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood, 1964-1965 GMC 2500 Series, and 1955-1958 Pontiac Catalina (engine: All) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Cataloged for front and rear drum brake applications on the vehicles listed. For even, balanced braking, service the shoes on both wheels of an axle together as a matched set. Country of origin: China.
