Features, Description, Q&A, Specs & Installation
Confident Rear Braking. The Brake Shoe and Lining Set restores reliable stopping power and balanced rear brake response for 1978-1989 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 and Wrangler YJ models, helping return pedal feel and straight-line stability under load. Purpose-built for use with 10-inch x 1-3/4-inch drums, this OE compatible and comparable assembly refreshes the friction surfaces that matter most. It’s an essential maintenance step that curbs pull, chatter, and long pedal travel while supporting everyday drivability.
Construction and Appearance. Featuring a durable raw metal finish, the shoes are matched with quality linings to deliver consistent friction characteristics and even wear across the arc. Geometry mirrors factory specifications to maintain proper contact and drum conformity, promoting smooth engagement and fade resistance during repeated stops. Hardware interfaces are precisely formed to keep the shoe position stable in the backing plate, and the rear model configuration supports dependable parking brake performance and repeatable adjustment.
Installation. Designed as a direct replacement, the set installs with straightforward drum-brake service steps using common hand tools. After safely supporting the vehicle, remove the drum, document spring orientation, and replace shoes and linings methodically from one side to the other for reference. Clean the backing plate contact pads, apply high-temperature brake lubricant sparingly at the rub points, and adjust the star wheel for slight drag before reassembling. Finish with a careful bed-in procedure to stabilize friction and verify a firm, predictable pedal.
Application. This Brake Shoe and Lining Set fits 1978-1989 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 and Wrangler YJ models. It enhances braking confidence by restoring even rear braking force, improving pedal consistency, and supporting quieter, smoother stops in daily driving and off-pavement use.
