What This Product Does

This kit concerns the fittings associated with the brake shoes, rather than their friction linings. The supplied assembly references identify tension springs, roll pins, compression springs and concave washers used around the shoes.

Functions

• Provides replacement hardware for drum brake shoe servicing.

Symptoms of Fault

Inspect existing fittings for corrosion, distortion, seizure or looseness. Rattling and brake noise warrant examination of the hardware alongside the shoes and surrounding components; these symptoms alone do not establish which part needs replacement.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewing damaged fittings avoids reinstalling deteriorated hardware during brake work. OE Match develops replacement components around Porsche applications, with attention to original references and vehicle-specific fitment. Check the condition of adjoining parts rather than assuming a hardware kit will resolve every braking fault.
