This forum has been a big part of keeping my XJ going. Thanks guys.

I'm trying to replace my rear drums, but I'm having trouble finding the right parts for my Chrysler 8.25 axle on my 2001 XJ. I bought a kit from Quadratec a year ago and while the drum and pads fit, the other hardware wasn't right. I think the kit was for a Dana 35.

Where can I get the right parts for my axle? I'd really like to get it right the first time! Nothing on Quadratec's site mentions my axle!?

Thanks you!!

 

This is the kit I bought last time:

Oreilly has the spring kit and they sell the rest separate. Get the adjuster and the arms too though.

 

Quadratec = overpriced yuck a lot of the time.

Bendix shoes and drums and a spring kit from any old auto parts store. I bought new drums and shoes on Amazon and got all the springs and other hardware including new wheel cylinders from NAPA. VERY affordable and very good quality/performance for less than Quadratec's incomplete "kit."

 

not sure why you cant find the right ones at any local parts store... I can tell you though I converted to rear discs for same price as fixing drums

 

There's two separate types of drum hardware kits for rear drum brakes.

One of the kits is an adjusting kit the other is hold down kit.

i havent bought any for my jeep yet, but when i re did the brakes on my old car, i got some great deals from rockauto.com

 

I bought New drums, shoes, cylinders, and hardware from the local Oreilly Auto parts store, and up to now I rarely went into that store. Looks like I'll be in there fairly often the get the Jeep up to where I want it

They had more of the parts I need than the other local chains..

 

went rockauto for my '99. their full rebuild kit included more shyt than i'll ever need

 

Like the others said. You shouldn't have any problem finding all the brake parts from any parts store. I know I had no problem finding everything for my 98 at O'reilly,
