DFC Rear Drum Brake Hardware Kit

For 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup & 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner

Overview

The DFC Rear Drum Brake Hardware Kit is a premium OEM-style replacement hardware kit designed for 1979–1995 Toyota Pickup and 1984–1995 Toyota 4Runner rear drum brake applications. Engineered to restore proper rear brake operation, this kit helps maintain correct brake shoe tension, smooth brake engagement, and long-term braking reliability.

Over time, original drum brake hardware can weaken, corrode, or lose tension, leading to brake drag, uneven shoe wear, brake noise, vibration, and inconsistent rear braking performance.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement, this DFC rear drum brake hardware kit is manufactured using durable materials for dependable daily driving, restoration projects, work trucks, and off-road applications.

This kit is sold as a complete axle kit and includes hardware for both rear drum brakes.
