Bosch Rear Drum Brake Shoe Set BS627 Blue — OE-fit, Asbestos-Free Pair for One Axle

Designed by Bosch, a leading name in brake systems, the BS627 Blue drum brake shoes are built to match original-equipment dimensions and performance while using modern, asbestos-free friction compounds. Each set supplies brake shoes for the rear axle (two wheels) and is manufactured from all-new steel with a protective coating to improve resistance to corrosion. This product is intended as a direct-replacement part to help restore drum brake function with consistent pad-to-drum contact and predictable wear.

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

The BS627 Blue shoes follow OE-style geometry so they align with factory mounting points and shoe retainers, minimizing the need for modification. Accurate fit reduces installation time and the likelihood of post-installation adjustments. They are sold as a complete pair for one axle, ready to mount in most compatible drum brake assemblies.

• Stamped to OE dimensions for proper alignment
• Bonded construction keeps friction material secured to backing plate
• Sold as a set covering both rear wheels of one axle

What materials and treatments improve longevity and performance?

Bosch uses a bonded, asbestos-free friction formula to provide consistent braking response over the shoe’s life while avoiding legacy materials. The backing plates are made from 100% new steel for structural integrity, and a rust-inhibiting surface finish helps slow corrosion. These choices contribute to predictable wear patterns and durable service life under typical driving conditions.

• Asbestos-free bonded friction for steady braking
• All-new steel backing plates for strength and durability
• Rust-inhibitive coating to reduce premature corrosion

Will I get everything needed to complete the brake job with this set?

The BS627 package contains the brake shoes required for one rear axle (two wheels) but does not include the spring and retaining hardware. If your vehicle’s hardware shows wear or corrosion, replacing springs, clips, or adjusters during the job is recommended for optimal function. Using fresh hardware helps maintain proper tension and positioning of the shoes inside the drum.

• Includes two rear brake shoes (one axle)
• Hardware kit is not included — purchase separately if needed
• Ideal for routine replacement or matched with new hardware for overhaul jobs

How does Bosch address safety and environmental considerations?

Bosch formulates the friction material without asbestos, aligning with modern safety and environmental standards while delivering consistent braking characteristics. Bonded shoe construction reduces the risk of material separation under normal operating conditions. The rust-inhibitive coating also helps extend component life, reducing frequency of replacements.

• Asbestos-free friction for safer handling and disposal
• Bonded construction resists delamination
• Protective coating reduces corrosion and extends service intervals

Who is this for? The BOSCH BS627 Blue Rear Drum Brake Shoe Set is aimed at vehicle owners and professional mechanics seeking a reliable, OE-style replacement for rear drum brakes. It’s well suited for those who want asbestos-free friction materials, robust steel backing, and corrosion protection, and who will either reuse existing hardware in good condition or add a separate hardware kit when performing a full brake service.
