Dorman Rear Parking Brake Hardware Kit HW7329 — Complete OE‑Equivalent Clips, Springs (Fits Dodge, Ram, Ford)

Dorman HW7329 Rear Parking Brake Hardware Kit is a complete, original-equivalent set of rear parking brake components engineered to replace worn or failed hardware on compatible Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and Ram vehicles.

If your parking brake feels loose, drags, or won’t hold, the problem is often worn or corroded mounting clips, springs, and retainers rather than the shoes or cables themselves. The Dorman HW7329 kit collects the most commonly failed rear parking brake pieces into a single repair set so you can restore proper function without sourcing individual parts. Each component is produced to match the dimensions and function of the original equipment for straightforward installation and longer service life.

What parts are included and how do they restore brake operation?

The kit supplies the small but critical hardware that secures and actuates the rear parking brake assembly—items that routinely fatigue or corrode over time. Replacing these parts removes slack, restores correct shoe positioning, and reduces uneven wear.

• Mounting clips and retainers sized to original fit
• Tension and return springs to reestablish proper shoe movement
• Spring retainers and hardware that resist corrosion for longer service

Which vehicles does this Dorman kit fit and how do I confirm fitment?

HW7329 fits selected model years across Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and Ram lines—examples include Dodge Durango (2003–2009), Ram 1500 (2004–2018), select Ford F-Series Super Duty and E-Series models, and the Chrysler Aspen. Because there are variations by trim and axle configuration, it’s important to verify exact compatibility before ordering.

• Compatible families: Dodge Durango, Ram 1500, Chrysler Aspen, Ford E-150/E-150 Club Wagon, Ford F-250/F-350 Super Duty
• Model year ranges indicated on the product page—use the garage tool to confirm
• Fitment depends on axle type and factory options—confirm vehicle trim

How difficult is installation and what tools are typically required?

Installation is a moderate DIY task for someone comfortable working on drum-style rear brakes. The kit replaces small hardware pieces; you’ll remove the drum or backing plate to access fasteners and springs. If you’re unfamiliar with brake assemblies, a service manual or step-by-step guide is recommended.

• Common tools: pliers, brake spring tool or screwdriver, basic socket set
• Time: typically 1–2 hours per axle for an experienced DIYer
• Safety tip: work on a level surface, use jack stands, and follow brake-cleaning precautions

Why choose the Dorman HW7329 kit over individual parts or aftermarket alternatives?

Dorman packages the essential rear parking brake hardware into one matched kit to simplify repairs and ensure component compatibility. These pieces are manufactured to align with original dimensions and are backed by Dorman’s automotive expertise, helping reduce future adjustments and uneven brake behavior caused by mismatched parts.

• Complete set avoids trial-and-error ordering of separate clips or springs
• Quality materials resist fatigue and corrosion better than random spares
