Designed for use with 40mm brake shoe applications, the kit helps ensure proper brake shoe alignment, consistent return spring tension and reliable drum brake operation. Manufactured from high-quality corrosion-resistant materials, the components are engineered to withstand the demanding environment of the braking system while maintaining long-term performance and safety.  

What This Product Does:

• Provides the hardware required for brake shoe installation.
• Secures brake shoes in the correct operating position.
• Maintains proper brake shoe tension and alignment.
• Supports smooth movement and retraction of brake shoes.
• Helps ensure consistent drum brake performance.
• Reduces the risk of brake noise and uneven operation.
• Supports safe and reliable braking system function.
• Complements brake shoe replacement and restoration work.

Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:

• Brake squealing, rattling or unusual noises.
• Brake shoes not returning correctly after braking.
• Uneven brake shoe wear.
• Reduced braking efficiency.
• Dragging brakes causing excessive heat build-up.
• Poor brake pedal feel.
• Broken or weakened return springs.
• Corrosion on brake retaining hardware.
• Excessive movement of brake shoes within the drum assembly.
• Premature wear of newly installed brake shoes.

Why Replacement Matters:

• Brake shoe hardware is subjected to continual heat cycles, vibration, moisture, road contamination and repeated braking forces. Over time, springs can lose tension, retaining clips may corrode and mounting hardware can become worn, compromising the effectiveness of the drum brake system.
• Reusing worn hardware during brake shoe replacement can lead to poor brake performance, excessive noise, uneven wear and reduced braking efficiency. In severe cases, faulty hardware can prevent the brake shoes from operating correctly, affecting vehicle safety and increasing maintenance costs.
• Replacing the brake shoe accessory kit whenever brake shoes are serviced helps ensure proper brake operation, maximises the lifespan of new brake components and restores factory braking performance. An OE Match accessory kit provides factory-style fitment, dependable operation and long-term durability, helping maintain safe and reliable braking performance for your Porsche.
