The 15in Dana Standard Forge Return Spring relies on the listed dimensions for selection. Confirm any material grade requirements against the brake manufacturer service information before installation because requirements can vary.

Compatibility and Fitment

Compare your removed spring to the listed overall length and coil diameter before ordering because brake hardware kits vary by axle and shoe type. This return spring should only be used when the brake assembly uses the same hook style and installed length.

Compliance and Safety

Brake springs store energy, so work carefully and use appropriate spring tools. Follow workshop procedures and isolate the vehicle before beginning any brake work.

• Wear eye protection and gloves during spring removal and installation
• Support the axle securely and keep hands clear of pinch points
• Replace springs in axle sets where wear patterns suggest uneven tension
• Afterwards, perform a brake function check before returning the trailer to service

Trailer Applications

The 15in Dana Standard Forge Return Spring commonly suits drum brake foundation hardware on heavy trailer axles using Dana Standard Forge style assemblies. It also suits maintenance work on trailers running S-cam drum brakes where the existing return spring matches these dimensions. If you are unsure, measure the old spring and confirm the brake shoe and roller hardware style before purchase.
