Bosch Parking Brake Shoes BS859 — Blue set for one axle with asbestos-free bonded friction

Engineered by Bosch, a global leader in braking systems, these Blue parking brake shoes are built to replace worn or damaged shoes with parts that match original equipment dimensions. The assembly uses 100% new steel components and a bonded, asbestos-free friction material formulated for predictable engagement and long service life. Metal parts receive a rust-inhibiting finish to slow corrosion and preserve fit, while the OE-style profile helps the shoes align correctly with backing plates for a straightforward install. Note: hardware kit is sold separately.

How do these brake shoes ensure a correct fit and easy installation?

Bosch designs these shoes to mirror OE geometry so they seat properly against the brake backing plate and drum. That reduces adjustment headaches and helps maintain consistent contact for parking-brake application.

• Precision-engineered OE-style design matches factory dimensions.
• Bonded construction keeps friction material attached to the shoe body.
• 100% new steel frame prevents warping or fatigue from recycled materials.

What materials and coatings improve durability?

The shoes use asbestos-free friction compounds to meet modern safety and environmental standards while offering steady wear characteristics. Steel components are fresh, not recycled, and receive a rust-inhibitive coating that extends service life in humid or salty conditions.

• Asbestos-free bonded friction for safer, regulated performance.
• All-new steel construction for strength and dimensional stability.
• Rust-inhibitive finish protects against corrosion and sticking.

Will this set include everything I need to replace parking brake shoes?

The BS859 set includes replacement shoes for one axle (two wheels), covering both left and right parking brake shoes for that axle. It does not include the small springs, pins or retainers often sold as a hardware kit, so plan to purchase the hardware separately if yours is worn.

• Contents: complete pair of parking brake shoes for one axle (two wheels).
• Hardware kit: not included — recommended if original retainers are corroded.
• Installation tip: inspect drums and backing plate for wear while replacing shoes.

How do these shoes affect parking-brake performance and maintenance?

Using properly fitted, bonded shoes restores consistent parking-brake engagement and reduces the chance of uneven wear. The coated metal parts slow corrosion, which lowers the need for future corrective maintenance and helps parts move freely during release.

• Consistent engagement thanks to OE-style fit and bonded friction.
• Lower corrosion risk reduces stuck or seized components at the next service interval.
• Extended wear life helps space out future replacements when installed correctly.

Who is this for: The BOSCH BS859 Blue Parking Brake Shoe Set is aimed at DIY mechanics, independent repair shops, and fleet maintainers who want an OE-dimension replacement with modern, asbestos-free friction and a rust-resistant finish. Choose this set when you need dependable parking-brake operation for one axle and plan to reuse or separately replace the small hardware components.
