1
Confirm Vehicle Configuration: K1189 is suitable for vehicles with rear drum brakes, . Some higher trim levels of the same model may feature rear disc brakes. Please verify vehicle configuration before purchasing.
2
Check OE Number: The most accurate matching method is to remove the old part and verify the original part number on the back plate (e.g., 44060-56G26) against the supplier's product.
3
Replace in Pairs: To ensure balanced braking performance on both sides, it is recommended to replace brake shoe sets on both wheels of the same axle simultaneously. Standard kits typically contain 4 pieces (sufficient for both rear wheels).
4
Check Included Hardware: Some brands include installation hardware with the K1189 kit. If purchasing brake shoes separately, you may need to purchase a brake hardware kit separately to replace return springs and retaining pins.
5
Verify with VIN: Vehicle configurations may vary by model year and engine size. The most reliable method is to provide the vehicle VIN (chassis number) for precise compatibility.
