brakes 320i cheap new rear brake shoes- $17

[strictlyvanagon]

I switched to 250 mm 320i rear brake set up three years ago. I bought from Auto Zone a set of rear shoes back then for a 320i in order to check out the quality. I was VERY happy with the quality and then bought 2 more sets as spares. As of last week the price has not gone up at Auto Zone. Still $17 for a set. If you ever order a set be sure to check that included in the box are two rear and two front shoes. Happy motoring!!!

don't buy the shoes from autozone that are listed for the 2002, they won't fit.

Silly Dar_on_, the shoes go on the right side of the car; the discs on the left!

Good to hear. So many 'upgrade' or replacement parts for 02's are taken from cars that are now considered classic in their own right (or at least old) and may be subject to shortages in the future.

What happens when we can't buy brake calipers for Volvo 240's anymore? What is the next donor?

Do the Autozone brake shoes have the spacer for upper spring placement? I was looking at the shoes IE sent me and they are riveted as mentioned in the link I've listed below.

All I can remember from three years ago was that I had no problems installing the Auto Zone 320i rear shoes along with all the other 320i upgrade parts. I believe one has to use all the 320i hardware-(springs, fasteners) wheel cyl, drums, and backing plates. My spare 320i shoes are stored 30 miles away buried in a storage locker. When I bought my spares I checked them carefully to be sure they matched my first set.

We'll be teleporting.  There will be 240 calipers until the end of the petrol age...

 

Long beyond the date when there are 2002 parts, that's for sure!
