Review on Wagner Z744 Drum Brake Shoe Set: Reliable and High-Quality Option for Optimal Braking Performance by Kofi Wills

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Terrible Quality Control

There was a time when the name Federal-Mogul (the parent company of Wagner Brake Products) on a part was your guarantee of a quality product. Well, apparently things have changed. The liners on 3 of the 4 boots were misaligned with the metal boot and there were drips of glue in various places. Two had the side of the metal shoe worn away. In other cases, the liner would bump against the baseplate and prevent the shoe from fitting properly. Either those pads were never tested, or nobody cared what the heck they brought. I returned this item and purchased factory Honda brake pads. They cost almost four times as much, but since it's a security issue, I didn't mind.
