RE: {Chrysler 300} 300F Brake Shoes/Drums

[ALLAN POZDOL <apozdol@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to add to what Noel posted, if your rear drums are able to still take another turn J&G will reline your shoes with a thicker and more modern friction material. They will then be arced specifically to the diameter of the drums.

My experience is that I turned the adjuster all the way down so that the drum would slip on more easily. Just a couple of passes and I could hear the shoes biting.

This is certainly different from the multiple passes necessary to adjust off-the-shelf shoes, which will still only bite first at the bottoms of the shoes, since they are not arced to the specific diameter. The fronts turned out to the max were the worst.

So the bottom of the lining have to wear before the mid and then upper parts can make full contact.

I had J&G reline all of my new off-the-shelf shoes.

My K stops on a dime.

Brake shoes: I’ve had good luck with Andy Bernbaum (oldMoparts.com)

Brake drums: Are yours out of spec ? If not, just have them turned and you’ll be good to go.

 

The hub/drum assemblies are one-piece units. They are not available in the aftermarket. Your best bet is to find a good, used pair from any senior model 57 thru 62 Desoto or Chrysler (not Imperial). John Fowlie at BigMAuto.com can help you out with that.
