Rear drum missing spring - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Markus_E · 03-19-2022, 02:14 PM

Hello,

I rebuild the rear brakes on my truck. I found nearly everything. But i didn’t find the strut spring for the emergency brake strut.

Do i translate it wrong? Because I’m from germany or isn’t there nowhere some on stock?

The strut spring isn't generally found in the spring kits, for some reason. You can purchase them separately, but I don't know about that in Germany.

I buy everything in the USA. But is this spring called strut spring?
Because i didn’t find them

It is called a strut bar spring. Napa in the US does sell them.

Search for anti-rattle strut spring.

I’ve used a light duty spring like in this link to make my own.
Stretched out, flattened a bit and bent a couple pigtails on it.
Worked great.
Hardware stores have them.

Thanks for the help. I found with the carlson partnumber a spring from raybestos. Now i got everything and i can place my order.

My friend rebuilding his 1956 C10 just ran into the same thing. Purchased a spring kit and the strut spring wasn't included.
Maybe should call it a spring kit -1?

That spring broke on my dana 60 the brake adjuster keep on adjusting til it unthreaded itself.
Killed shoes and the drum. Ended up cutting the drum off with a torch.

I don't think that I have ever seen that spring in any kits, and I've installed hundreds of kits, over my lifetime.

I ran into this issue when doing the brakes on my 67 a couple years ago. After an exhaustive search I got an older guy at O'Reilly that really dug in and helped me out. He looked through some books and made a few phone calls. Ended up what I needed as actually on the shelf:

Brake Best part number H1338-2
