Bosch Parking Brake Shoe Set BS947 — Blue, OE-Style Fit and Asbestos-Free Friction

BOSCH BS947 Blue Parking Brake Shoe Set delivers a precision OE-style fit and asbestos-free bonded friction for reliable stopping on one axle (two wheels).

Replace worn parking brake shoes with a set engineered by Bosch, a global leader in braking components. These shoes combine bonded, asbestos-free friction material with 100% new steel backing plates and a rust-inhibitive coating so the parts fit correctly, resist corrosion, and last longer under everyday driving conditions. The kit covers one axle (two wheels) and is designed to simplify installation while matching original equipment specifications.

How is the BS947 designed to match my vehicle’s original parts?

Bosch engineered these brake shoes to mirror OE dimensions and mounting points so they install without modification. That reduces installation time and the need for adjustment while maintaining proper brake geometry.

• OE-style contours and hole patterns for direct replacement
• Bonded construction to secure the friction material to the steel plate
• 100% new steel backing plates for consistent rigidity and wear

What materials and coatings are used to extend service life?

The BS947 uses asbestos-free friction compound bonded to new steel plates and finished with a rust-inhibitive coating. These choices lower the chance of corrosion and premature failure, helping the shoes retain shape and function through road exposure.

• Asbestos-free bonded friction for uniform wear and stable performance
• New steel backing plates to prevent warping and maintain pressure distribution
• Rust-inhibitive coating that slows corrosion at mounting points and edges

Does this set include all parts I need for a brake job?

The BS947 includes brake shoes sized for one axle (two wheels) but does not contain the hardware kit. If the existing springs, pins, or adjusters are worn or corroded, replace them along with the shoes for best results.

• Package contains two brake shoes per wheel set (one axle coverage)
• Hardware kit, springs, and adjusters sold separately—inspect for wear
• Fit and finish designed to work with standard parking brake systems

How will these shoes affect braking feel and maintenance intervals?

Because Bosch uses a consistent bonded friction formulation and OE-style backing, the BS947 promotes predictable parking-brake engagement and even wear patterns. Proper fit and corrosion resistance help minimize maintenance frequency when installed correctly and paired with functioning hardware.

• Bonded friction yields steady engagement and reduced glazing risk
• Proper OE fit lowers uneven wear caused by misalignment
• Corrosion protection helps keep components serviceable longer

Who is this for: The Bosch BS947 Blue Parking Brake Shoe Set is intended for DIY mechanics and professional technicians updating rear or emergency brake shoes on vehicles that accept this part number. Choose this set if you want OE-style fit, asbestos-free bonded friction, and a rust-inhibitive finish to reduce rework. Remember to inspect and, if necessary, replace the associated hardware for a complete, reliable parking-brake service.
