Technical Specifications

Vehicle Compatibility

The ABS 2669‑S Brake Drum is engineered for use in a variety of vehicles that require rear drum brakes. Common applications include:

• Ford Fiesta (4‑door, Cabrio, Kombi)
• Ford Escort (6‑door, Cabrio, Kombi)
• Mazda models with matching specifications
• Other OEM and aftermarket vehicles that specify the ABS 2669‑S drum size and mounting geometry

When selecting a brake drum for your vehicle, always verify the wheel hub diameter, bolt pattern, and rear brake system type to ensure proper fitment.

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Secure the vehicle on a flat surface using jack stands. Remove the rear wheels completely.
2. Remove Existing Drum: Detach the brake shoes and any retaining hardware. Carefully lift the old drum off the wheel hub.
3. Inspect Components: Check the wheel hub, bearings, and brake shoes for wear or damage before installing the new drum.
4. Mount the New Drum: Align the mounting flange with the hub bolts. Tighten in a cross‑pattern to ensure even pressure.
5. Reinstall Brake Shoes: Position the brake shoes back onto the drum, ensuring proper alignment of the shoe springs and pins.
6. Reassemble Wheels: Place the wheels back on the hub, torque the lug nuts to manufacturer specifications.
7. Test Drive: After installation, perform a low‑speed test drive to confirm that braking feels consistent and there are no unusual noises.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect brake shoes for wear; replace them before they become too thin.
• Check the drum surface for scoring or glazing. If necessary, perform a light sanding to restore optimal friction.
• Keep the braking system clean from dust and debris to prevent contamination of the friction surfaces.
• Periodically verify that all mounting bolts are tightened to spec; loose hardware can lead to brake failure.

Performance Benefits

The ABS 2669‑S Brake Drum delivers:

• Consistent Stopping Power: Even heat distribution reduces the risk of brake fade during prolonged use.
• Long Service Life: High‑strength alloy steel resists cracking and wear, extending the drum’s operational lifespan.
• Improved Safety: Reliable braking performance enhances overall vehicle safety, especially in emergency situations.
