Keep the rear drum brakes gripping true with the Wagner Brake Z473R Drum Brake Shoe. It installs as a direct-fit rear brake shoe for a long list of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs (all engines), including the 1976-1995 Chevrolet G10, 1978-1986 Chevrolet C10, 1988-1999 Chevrolet K1500, 1992-1999 GMC C1500, 1995-2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 1991-1992 Cadillac Brougham — plus dozens more.

A drum brake shoe presses outward against the inside of the brake drum to slow the wheel. Wagner builds the Z473R with an OE-matched friction material that is precision-ground to maximize contact with the drum.
- OE-matched friction material: an organic friction compound, precision-ground to maximize friction-to-drum contact for optimal braking performance.
- Riveted attachment: the friction material is riveted to the shoe.
- Fitment specs: sized for an 11.142 in brake drum diameter with a 2.756 in shoe width.
- Hardware not included: mounting hardware and parking brake levers are not included — consult the vehicle service information for the correct hardware and whether it may be reused.
Worn or contaminated shoes can show up as reduced braking, squealing or grinding, or longer brake-pedal travel — signs these rear shoes may need replacing. For even, balanced braking it is best practice to replace the shoes on both sides of the axle together as a matched set; the shoes are sold individually and this listing reflects a package quantity of 1.
