Bosch Blue Rear Drum Brake Shoe Set BS589 for Toyota (Rear Axle) — OE-Style Fit, Asbestos-Free

Bosch BS589 Blue rear drum brake shoes deliver OE-style fit and asbestos-free bonded friction for dependable stopping power on Toyota rear axles.

If you're maintaining a late-80s through early-2000s Toyota pickup, 4Runner, T100, Tacoma, or Tundra, these Bosch Blue brake shoes are built to replace worn rear drum linings with parts engineered to match original equipment specifications. Bosch designs this shoe set with all-new steel backing plates, a rust-inhibitive coating, and bonded friction material so installation is straightforward and long-term durability is improved compared with aged or corroded components.

How do these brake shoes match OE fit and ease installation?

Bosch shapes the BS589 shoes to the same mounting points and contours used in factory rear drum systems, minimizing the need for adjustments during installation. This precision fit reduces installation time and helps ensure consistent contact between the shoes and drum for immediate braking response after service.

• Engineered to OE-style profiles for proper alignment and fit.
• All-new steel backing plates eliminate distortion from reused parts.
• Bonded friction means the lining is factory-attached—no separate cementing required.

What materials and treatments improve longevity and performance?

The Bosch Blue line uses 100% asbestos-free friction compounds formulated for steady wear rates across a range of temperatures and driving conditions. Metal parts receive a rust-inhibitive coating to slow corrosion, keeping shoes free from pitting and maintaining smooth movement within the drum assembly.

• Asbestos-free bonded linings for consistent wear and safer handling.
• New steel construction prevents weaknesses from reused plates.
• Rust-inhibitive coating extends service life in humid or salty environments.

Which vehicles and axle locations are compatible with BS589?

The BS589 set is intended for the rear axle drum brakes on a range of Toyota trucks and SUVs manufactured between 1987 and 2003. It covers common models that came with rear drum brakes from the factory, enabling a direct swap when renewing a single axle’s shoes.

• Rear: Toyota 4Runner (1987–2000), Pickup (1987–1994).
• Rear: Toyota T100 (1993–1998), Tacoma (1995–2002).
• Rear: Toyota Tundra (2000–2003); set fits both wheels on one axle.

What is included and what else do I need to finish the job?

The package contains a complete set of rear brake shoes sufficient for one axle (two wheels). Bosch does not include the small return springs or retainers (hardware kit), so you should inspect and replace the drum hardware if corroded or fatigued to ensure safe, trouble-free operation.

• Includes: four brake shoes (complete set for one rear axle).
• Not included: drum brake hardware kit—replace if worn or corroded.
• Recommendation: resurface or replace drums if scored beyond spec.

Who this is for: The Bosch BS589 Blue rear drum brake shoe set is aimed at DIY mechanics and professional technicians servicing older Toyota trucks and SUVs that retain factory rear drum brakes. Choose this set if you want a direct-fit replacement built from new steel with bonded, asbestos-free linings and rust-resistant coatings to restore reliable rear braking without unnecessary fabrication or guesswork.
