Refresh your rear drum brakes with the Wagner Brake Drum Brake Shoe Z720R. It drops in as a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 1997-1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am, and 2004-2005 Chevrolet Classic [All], pressing its friction lining against the brake drum to help slow the wheel.
- OE-matched friction: uses OE-matched friction material for optimal braking performance.
- Maximized contact: precision-ground lining to maximize friction-to-drum contact.
- Organic lining: organic friction material, riveted to the shoe.
- Specs: sized for an 8.900 in drum with a 1.772 in shoe width and a 0.250 in primary lining thickness; FMSI 1496-S720.
This shoe ships without mounting hardware and without parking brake levers, so consult the vehicle service information for the correct hardware and whether it may be reused. Signs the shoes may need replacing include reduced braking, a low or spongy pedal, or squealing or scraping from the rear; if worn rear drum shoes are the cause, replacing them addresses it. Diagnose the cause before replacing. For even, balanced braking, replacing both sides on the axle as a matched set is recommended; the listed applications use one per application, and this listing reflects that quantity. Country of origin: China.
