Review on πŸ”§ ACDelco 18B549 Professional Rear Brake Drum Assembly Including Bearing by Jason Cho

Revainrating 1 out of 5

2 bought. One of them didn't fit.

Bought 2. One of them didn't fit the rear axle of a 2001 Ford Focus. It got stuck when installing and when removing the bearing fell apart. I tried putting the separate back of the bearing on both spindles with grease to see if it was my fault. It got stuck again and had to be removed by force. Conclusion, the inner diameter of the bearing is too small. I haven't tried the second drum yet. Upon closer inspection of the second drum I found that the bearing bore was also undersized AND the bearings were off center and slightly spaced in the hub. Bought 2 Duralast drums from local auto parts store (four times the price). the price of this listing) and both slipped with no problem. Pros: Inexpensive (2 for 1 compared to your local auto parts store). You get shiny paperweights if you happen to get the wrong size. Cons: The price reflects the quality and the time it takes to get the right measurements. Vehicle downtime waiting for the wrong size part to arrive. AC Delco Recommendation: List ALL sizes in your listings. PURCHASE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine
