Fits and does what it should.

Matching parts. Driven a few hundred kilometers, no problems. The installation was quite difficult as I was doing this job in my driveway and I had to borrow the right tools. Rear brake drums are tricky to deal with, as any DIY enthusiast already knows.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Protection

Made in China

Purchased only because Wagner is a respected American company. Nowhere in the description is it mentioned that they were bought abroad. I guess I should have asked. I'm sure they will fit and work well, but I'd rather buy American parts for my American car.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Speed

Doesn't fit exactly! - Brake system

The pin in the secondary pads is the wrong diameter for the adjuster arm to fit the pin. I installed a new hardware kit that I had to submit for the new switch to fit the pin. And the old latch did not match the contacts. Tell the manufacturer to address the cranial rectal situation!

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Short manual

WARNING: Not for 2002 Dodge Durango

Although stated on this product, it does not fit the 2002 Dodge Durango. The first picture shows the self-adjusting lever pin on the stock truck pads, the second shows the pin on those pads. The ID on the pin that comes preinstalled on these pads is too large to fit BrakeBest OEM or aftermarket levers.

Pros
  • Excellent Engineering
Cons
  • Safety

Good quality shoes in parts

Installed on a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500. Good quality shoes. Drum removal tip: Raise the rear end off the ground on jack stands, remove the wheels, put a nut on each drum, start the car so the axle starts to rotate, apply the brakes. As a result, the inertial force of the entire gearbox is transferred to the drum, and it is much faster and easier to loosen it than hitting it with a hammer for several days.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Some defects

had to modify - replacement parts

I got these new pads but the self adjusting actuator pin, the pin that pushes into the secondary shoe didn't fit the actuator, I could use my grinder to enlarge it, wanted but not to promote rust. I had a different set of brake pads (different story), knocked the pins out of those pads and JB welded them into the new pads. This is fixed but extra work on such a simple brake job. Just try it before you install it.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • High price
