ABS 9167 Brakeshoe Set

ABS 9167 Brakeshoe Set

The ABS 9167 Brakeshoe Set is a high‑performance parking brake assembly designed specifically for the rear axle of select Citroën, Fiat, and Peugeot models. This set replaces worn or damaged handbrake shoes with new, factory‑spec components that restore reliable stopping power and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Key Features

• Factory‑Matched Design: Each shoe is engineered to the exact dimensions required by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), guaranteeing a perfect fit on the rear brake drum.
• Durable Construction: Made from high‑strength steel and reinforced with advanced composite materials, the shoes resist wear, corrosion, and heat buildup during prolonged use.
• Enhanced Friction Performance: The proprietary friction compound delivers consistent braking force across a wide range of temperatures, improving safety in both urban and highway driving conditions.
• Easy Installation: The set includes all necessary hardware—shoes, springs, pins, and mounting brackets—allowing technicians to replace the entire assembly in a single, streamlined operation.
• Compliance with ABS Standards: Designed for vehicles equipped with an Anti‑Lock Braking System (ABS), the shoes maintain proper engagement timing and pressure distribution.

Compatibility Overview

The ABS 9167 Brakeshoe Set is compatible with a range of rear‑wheel vehicles, including:

• Citroën models featuring the 9167 handbrake system.
• Fiat and Peugeot vans and passenger cars that use the same rear brake drum geometry.
• Commercial and light commercial trucks such as the Fiat Ducato III, where the set is adapted for heavy‑duty applications.

For each vehicle type, the set is available in multiple variants to match specific wheel sizes (e.g., Ø170 mm) and drum thicknesses. Always verify the exact part number against your vehicle’s service manual before installation.

Installation Procedure

1. Preparation: Secure the vehicle on a lift or jack stands, remove the rear wheels, and access the brake drum assembly.
2. Removal of Old Shoes: Detach the existing handbrake shoes by loosening the mounting pins. Carefully extract the worn shoes from the drum without damaging the internal components.
3. Inspection: Examine the brake drum for scoring, cracks, or excessive wear. Replace the drum if it does not meet OEM specifications.
4. Installation of New Shoes: Position each new shoe onto the drum, aligning the mounting holes with the pins. Secure the shoes using the supplied pins and lock washers to prevent slippage.
5. Spring Adjustment: Install the tension springs in the correct orientation to ensure proper handbrake engagement. Verify that the springs are seated fully within their housings.
6. Reassembly: Reinstall the brake drum, wheel, and any ancillary components such as the handbrake lever or cable assembly.
7. Testing: Engage the handbrake manually to confirm that the shoes contact the drum evenly. Perform a low‑speed test drive to ensure smooth operation and absence of noise.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the brake shoes every 10,000 km or after any significant impact event.
• Check for uneven wear patterns; if one shoe shows more wear than the other, replace both to maintain balanced braking.
• Lubricate the handbrake cable and pivot points with a high‑quality brake grease to prevent binding.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners on the shoes, as they can degrade the friction surface.

Benefits of Choosing the ABS 9167 Brakeshoe Set

• Safety Assurance: Restores full parking brake functionality, reducing the risk of unintended vehicle movement on inclines or during loading operations.
• Longevity: The robust construction extends service life compared to aftermarket alternatives, offering a cost‑effective solution over time.
• Performance Consistency: Maintains optimal braking torque across temperature variations, ensuring reliable stopping power in both hot and cold climates.
• Regulatory Compliance: Meets all relevant safety standards for vehicles equipped with ABS, supporting compliance inspections and certifications.
