Refresh the friction surface in your rear drum brakes with the Wagner Brake Drum Brake Shoe Z599AR. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the rear drum brakes on the 1992-2007 Ford Taurus (All engines) and 1992-2005 Mercury Sable (All engines). Drum brake shoes press their friction linings against the inside of the rotating brake drum to slow the wheel; worn, thin, or contaminated linings are common signs this shoe may need replacing.
- Organic friction material: OE-matched lining for consistent, predictable braking on the listed applications.
- Precision-ground linings: ground to maximize friction-to-drum contact for even seating.
- Riveted attachment: the friction material is riveted to the shoe.
- Key specs: sized for an 8.875 in drum diameter, 1.490 in shoe width, with 0.240 in friction thickness on both the primary and secondary shoes.
Mounting hardware and parking brake levers are not included — consult the vehicle service information for the correct hardware and whether any fasteners may be reused. For even, balanced braking, replacing both rear wheels together as a matched set is recommended; the listed applications use one per wheel (package quantity 1). Country of origin: China.
