• Precision Engineering: The shoes are machined to exact tolerances, ensuring smooth engagement with the drum and minimal noise during operation.
• Extended Service Life: Designed for longevity, the ABS 9301 set reduces the frequency of replacements compared to standard aftermarket options.
• Easy Installation: The kit includes all necessary hardware—bolts, washers, and a detailed installation guide—to streamline the replacement process.
• Compatibility: Specifically engineered for rear axles on Lexus IS II/III, GS, LS, RC, and Toyota models such as the Crown, C-HR, and various LEXUS series.

Vehicle Compatibility Overview

The ABS 9301 Brakeshoe Set is compatible with a broad range of rear‑axle configurations. Below is an illustrative list of models that typically use this component:

For exact fitment confirmation, consult the vehicle’s service manual or a qualified technician.

Installation Procedure

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on jack stands and disconnect the battery to prevent accidental engagement of the parking brake system.
2. Remove Old Shoes: Detach the existing brake shoes from the drum. Carefully note the orientation and positioning for reference.
3. Inspect Drum: Check the drum surface for scoring or damage. Replace if necessary to ensure optimal contact with new shoes.
4. Install New Shoes: Slide each ABS 9301 shoe into place, aligning the mounting holes with the drum’s internal brackets.
5. Tighten Hardware: Secure bolts and washers as specified in the included torque chart. Use a calibrated torque wrench to achieve precise clamping force.
6. Re‑engage Parking Brake: Manually pull the parking brake lever until it locks, then release and reapply to ensure proper engagement.
7. Test Drive: Perform a low‑speed test drive to confirm smooth operation. Listen for any unusual noises or vibrations that may indicate misalignment.

Performance Benefits

The ABS 9301 Brakeshoe Set offers several tangible advantages over generic replacements:

• Consistent Friction: The alloy composition maintains a stable coefficient of friction, reducing the likelihood of brake fade during prolonged use.
• Reduced Noise & Vibration: Precision machining eliminates chatter and squeal commonly associated with lower‑quality shoes.
• Improved Safety: Reliable parking brake engagement is critical for vehicle stability, especially on inclines or in emergency situations.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the parking brake lever and cable regularly for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Lubricate the pivot points with high‑temperature grease to ensure smooth operation.
• Replace shoes if you notice a noticeable reduction in braking force or if the lever feels loose.
