Description

Overview

Brake shoe anchor pin Fruehauf Q brake hardware keeps the shoes located on the spider in trailer drum brakes. This brake shoe anchor pin Fruehauf Q brake component also helps the shoe ends carry brake torque into the axle, so lining contact stays stable during repeated stops.

Features

• Anchor pin that matches Fruehauf Q brake shoe hardware on common trailer and semi trailer axles
• 61mm overall length with 32mm inner diameter and 27mm outer diameter for the typical Q brake anchor bore
• Machined bearing surfaces that support repeatable fitment and reliable shoe location under braking load

Specifications and Materials

Part number: FB3238.

This brake shoe anchor pin Fruehauf Q brake part suits foundation drum brakes that follow common Q series dimensions. Service data for this hardware group lists 61mm length, 32mm inner diameter and 27mm outer diameter for the anchor pin. Compare these figures with the removed pin and backing plate before installation so the component seats correctly at the shoe webs. Material selection focuses on strength and wear resistance at the shoe contact points, while the bearing areas allow smooth movement under service loads.

Compliance and Safety

Heavy vehicle foundation brakes must operate within manufacturer wear limits to meet roadworthiness and compliance requirements, so inspect anchor pins whenever shoes or drums are removed. Replace worn brake shoe anchor pins together with bushes, rollers and return springs so movement stays balanced on both sides of the axle.

• Always chock wheels, isolate the air supply and secure the trailer before starting brake work
• Support the axle correctly and follow the service manual sequence when removing and refitting shoes
• Carry out a functional brake test and confirm adjustment on each wheel end before returning the vehicle to service
