Description

Overview

Brake shoe hardware kit Q plus brake helps keep Meritor style Q+ foundation drum brakes working smoothly on heavy trailers. The matched springs, rollers and retainers help each brake shoe return cleanly after every application. As a result, the shoes stay aligned against the drum and can reduce uneven wear. Replacing the full hardware kit in one job also helps restore more consistent braking performance across the axle set.

Compatibility and Fitment

This brake shoe hardware kit Q plus brake suits trailers and drive axles that run Meritor Q+ foundation drum brakes. Match the kit to the existing brake family, cam size and shoe width before installation. Replace hardware on both sides of an axle at the same time to help keep braking balanced. If you are unsure, compare removed springs and rollers with the kit contents before final assembly.

Compliance and Safety

Heavy vehicle brake hardware carries high loads, so regular inspection matters for safety and compliance. During each brake service, check return springs for stretch, corrosion or broken hooks and replace them as a set. Also confirm that rollers turn freely and that anchor pins sit square in the shoe webs. After installation, apply and release the brakes several times, then confirm that the shoes return fully away from the drum.

The kit also supports preventative maintenance schedules where operators refresh hardware at set hour or kilometre intervals.
