Works well for Rear Disc Parking Brake 98 XLE 3.0

98 3.0 rear disc. This kit worked perfectly. Actually not a single problem. There are many parts and none of them caused problems and everything you need is here. You need a part from your old brakes called a strut and a moving lever that the parking brake cable attaches to. Just keep your old pieces in a bag and grab these two pieces when the time comes. The cost of this kit was much less than others and it did the job well.

Not the Best Parking Brake Components

This kit does not include matching lower spring washers, the foot of which hooks into an adjacent hole in the parking brake shoes to prevent the spring from moving and the spring pressure caps are not included which are very flimsy . Bent compression spring pins are brittle and bent during installation, causing them to become too long and allowing the spring head to contact the pins. I ended up buying a second set of hardware from Autozone (their own brand) and it was much better.

Pros
  • Braking System
Cons
  • Almost Never

All parts do not fit exactly

While most of the components fit my 2001 RX300 exactly, the main problem was the brake pad spring retainers. The cup that attaches to the brake shoe should have a tab that fits into a hole in the brake shoe to keep the spring from slipping out when the shoe is moved. I hope I don't have any problems but time will tell. It would also be nice to have a diagram with all the parts as it wasn't 1:1 with what was on my car (i.e. a different cup). Check out the attached pictures to see what I was able

Pros
  • Parking brake systems
Cons
  • Hard to tell
