Bosch Rear Drum Brake Shoe Set BS871 - Blue, OE-fit Asbestos-Free Friction for 1 Axle

BOSCH BS871 Blue Rear Drum Brake Shoe Set delivers OE-style fit and asbestos-free bonded friction for dependable stopping power on one axle (two wheels).

Engineered by Bosch, a global leader in braking systems, this rear drum brake shoe set is built to fit and function like original equipment. Each shoe uses a bonded, asbestos-free friction material bonded to 100% new steel backing plates, and metal parts carry a rust-inhibitive coating to resist corrosion and extend service life. The set covers both shoes for a single axle; hardware kits may not be included, so check fitment and installation requirements before purchasing.

How does this Bosch brake shoe set ensure a proper fit?

The BS871 follows OE-style dimensions and mounting points so the shoes align with drum hardware and cylinder locations for a straightforward installation. Precision engineering reduces adjustment and alignment issues that can occur with ill-fitting aftermarket parts.

• OE-style design engineered to match original mounting geometry
• 100% new steel backing plates for consistent shape and strength
• Manufactured to industry tolerances for predictable fitment

What materials and coatings are used for durability?

Bosch uses bonded friction formulations that are completely asbestos-free and designed to maintain consistent contact with the drum surface. Metal components receive a rust-inhibitive coating to slow corrosion and help keep parts moving freely through typical road exposure.

• Asbestos-free bonded friction compound for stable performance
• Rust-inhibitive coating on metal parts to resist corrosion
• New steel backing plates to avoid warping and fatigue

Does the set include everything needed to install it?

This listing supplies the brake shoes required for one axle—two wheels—but hardware kits are not necessarily included. Pins and levers are included where applicable per fitment, yet you may still need springs, clips, or a dedicated hardware set depending on your vehicle’s configuration.

• Includes brake shoes for one axle (two wheels)

• Verify whether springs, clips, or specialized hardware are required for your vehicle

How should I choose these shoes for my vehicle and installation?

Confirm the BS871 matches your vehicle’s year, make, and model before ordering. Check whether your repair requires a full hardware replacement and follow manufacturer instructions or a trusted repair manual for torque, adjustment, and bedding procedures.

• Cross-reference Bosch part BS871 with your vehicle fitment guide
• Inspect drums and wheel cylinders during replacement for wear or leaks
• Replace or service hardware as needed to ensure reliable operation
