What is the benefit of precision arc grinding?

Precision arc grinding ensures the brake shoe perfectly matches the curve of your brake drum. This leads to better contact between the shoe and drum, reducing break-in time and promoting more consistent braking performance.

How is the friction material attached to the shoe?

The friction material is attached to the new carbon steel shoe using either bonding or riveting, following the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. This ensures a secure and durable connection.

What does the anti-rust paint do?

The carbon steel shoes are dipped in a high-temperature anti-rust and corrosion-resistant black paint. This coating helps protect the steel from rust and corrosion, especially in harsh conditions, contributing to the longevity of the brake shoe.

Product Details

When it's time to service the drum brakes on your classic Jeep CJ5, CJ6, or AM General DJ5, a solid set of brake shoes is key to getting reliable stopping power back. These DFC Premium Service Shoes are built to meet OE specifications, ensuring they work with your existing drum brake system to bring your vehicle to a safe stop.

These brake shoes feature a semi-metallic friction material that's bonded or riveted to a new carbon steel shoe, just like the original equipment. The steel is dipped in high-temp anti-rust paint to help prevent corrosion, and the shoe is precision arc ground. This grinding process is important because it ensures the shoe matches the curve of your brake drum, which helps reduce break-in time and promotes consistent contact for improved performance right away. They've been field and lab tested to make sure they perform reliably over time.

This set fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Jeep CJ models from the 1960s and early 70s, as well as AM General DJ5 trucks. Make sure to check the fitment details to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
