Centric Premium 118.62010 Rear Drum Brake Complete Hardware Spring Kit

Restore original shoes return response, eliminate dragging rear wheel heat build-up, and quiet down annoying rear wheel grinding sounds with the premium Centric 118.62010 Rear Drum Brake Hardware Kit. Engineered as a direct fit for select Buick and Chevrolet vehicles, this authentic replacement component mounts directly into your rear axle backing plate assembly straight out of the box.

Rear drum brake hardware assemblies manage vital vehicle braking stability and emergency parking shoe return balance, making high-quality springs crucial. Over decades of operation, extreme heat cycles, and road moisture exposure, vintage factory return springs and hold-down pins suffer from metal fatigue, rusting, and losing their original tension. This creates uneven shoe lining wear, reduced pedal height, and dangerous drag. Centric has engineered this replacement kit with premium-grade steel components to deliver outstanding structural longevity.

Don't compromise on rear axle safety by reusing warped, rusty old tension clips during a complete shoe brake job. This premium installer pack includes all the necessary heat-treated replacement return springs, hold-down pins, and structural retention clips needed to overhaul one complete rear axle (both driver and passenger sides). Each metal part features a specialized rust-inhibitive painted coating to prevent oxidation and ensure a smooth, noise-free pedal performance.
