Grip the rear drums with fresh, precision-ground friction using the Wagner Drum Brake Shoe Z553R. It drops in as a direct-fit rear-brake replacement across a wide range of GM compacts, including the 1982-1983 Chevrolet Citation, 1985-2002 Chevrolet Cavalier, 1985-1998 Buick Skylark, 1985-1998 Pontiac Grand Am and 1995-2002 Pontiac Sunfire — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 23 applications (all engines). The shoe's friction lining presses against the brake drum to slow the wheel; if worn or glazed shoes are the cause of reduced braking or noise, this replaces them.
- OE-matched friction: friction material matched to the original equipment for reliable brake performance.
- Precision-ground lining: ground to maximize friction-to-drum contact.
- Organic, riveted lining: organic friction material riveted to the shoe; primary lining 0.210 in and secondary lining 0.260 in thick.
- Sized for the 7.875 in drum: 1.720 in shoe width; FMSI S553R.
- No hardware included: mounting hardware and parking-brake levers are not included; consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused.
Sold individually (package quantity 1); the listed applications use one per the catalog. For even, balanced braking, replace the shoes on both rear wheels together as a matched set. Country of origin: China.
