Replaces OEM part number 171609525A
Engineered to match OEM specifications for Volkswagen drum systems: These shoes are designed to replicate the original dimensions and contours found in factory components, guaranteeing a precise fit with your VW Passat or Golf/Polo MK1-MK4. This compatibility eliminates the need for adjustment during installation and ensures optimal contact with the brake drum. Their balanced geometry maintains vehicle stability and restores even braking response. The result is enhanced safety and confident performance in all driving conditions.
Premium friction material provides quiet, consistent stopping power: Developed to deliver effective braking under a variety of temperatures and loads, the advanced compound resists glazing and scoring. This ensures steady deceleration and firm pedal feel regardless of road conditions. The formulation is designed to maintain its integrity over time, even under regular urban stop-start usage. With reduced wear and increased responsiveness, these shoes help extend the life of both brake drums and wheel components.
Low-dust operation keeps your wheels and components looking clean: The shoes are designed to minimise the release of brake dust, preserving the appearance of your wheels while reducing the frequency of maintenance. Cleaner operation also helps protect surrounding brake parts from residue buildup. This contributes to more efficient braking and reduces long-term wear on the system. The low-dust compound is especially appreciated in daily-driven vehicles and show-condition restorations alike.
Thermal resistance helps prevent fade during repeated braking: Whether navigating busy city streets or descending long highway grades, these shoes retain their effectiveness under sustained heat. The thermal stability built into the compound helps preserve braking performance during prolonged use. This helps drivers maintain control and prevents the gradual loss of stopping power. The result is consistent, reliable operation even in challenging driving environments or extended commutes.
Steel-backed construction adds structural integrity and longevity: Built around a solid steel frame, these brake shoes resist distortion and cracking under repeated stress. The backing plate is treated to resist corrosion and premature degradation, even in moist or harsh conditions. This rugged build quality ensures consistent alignment and braking contact throughout the service life of the shoes. Drivers can count on these shoes to endure everyday demands without compromise.
Vibration-dampening design eliminates noise and harsh feedback: The construction incorporates noise-reducing properties that reduce the chance of squealing or grinding during use. Whether braking at low speeds or during sudden stops, you can expect a smooth, quiet experience behind the wheel. This refinement is ideal for those who value both performance and comfort in their driving. The noise suppression also reflects the precision quality of each component.
Ideal for DIY maintenance or professional workshop installations: Whether you're a Volkswagen enthusiast managing home repairs or a professional technician performing scheduled maintenance, these shoes install easily and securely. Their ready-to-fit design and OEM-matched geometry mean reduced installation time and no modification. This makes them an ideal choice for restoration projects, routine upkeep, or high-mileage maintenance. Their reliability supports confident ownership for years to come.
