Re: [Chrysler300] Brake Shoe Springs

["The Valentines" <300g@xxxx>]

2 or 3 years ago I purchased new springs from Mitchell's. He may still have
a supply on hand. I do not remember the cost but I don't think it was too
outrageous.
I do not have my literature before me but I remember some information in a
service bulletin about heavy duty springs. The springs are color coded and I
think the red ones are the heavy duty ones. I hope this may have helped and
if you need more accurate info I could find it later.
You can also try some of the other vendors like Gary Goers, Andy Bernbaum,
Brad's NOS Parts, Valley Vintage and others.
I just did a part number search (2267066- I believe that this is the
standard spring and not the heavy duty) and if the count is correct valley
vintage has 10 and some of the others listed above have a few each. Valley
Vintage may be used springs.
Good luck in your search.

did the brakes 3 years ago, I checked and adjusted the axle shaft end play,
but didn't have a source for new springs, so I put the old ones back in
place. At this point I think the rubbing problem is gone as haven't heard
the tell-tale squeak as I navigate cloverleaf's. I sure would like to get
new replacements though. Can anyone recommend a source for new brake
springs?
