Bosch Rear Drum Brake Shoe Set BS801 for 2003–2008 Toyota Corolla (USA) — Blue, Asbestos‑Free, OE‑Style Fit

These Bosch Blue drum brake shoes are engineered to match original-equipment form and function, giving you dependable braking performance without asbestos. The set contains two rear brake shoes sized for one axle and is built from all-new steel with a rust-inhibitive coating to resist corrosion. Designed for easy installation where compatible, the shoes use bonded friction material for even wear and consistent pedal feel. Note: hardware kit not included; verify vehicle build location before ordering.

Will these brake shoes fit my vehicle?

These Bosch BS801 shoes are intended for rear axle applications and specifically fit certain USA-built Toyota Corolla models from 2003 through 2008. They follow OE-style dimensions to simplify installation and ensure correct function in compatible drums.

• Fit: rear axle — set includes shoes for 2 wheels (one axle)
• Vehicle application: 2003–2008 Toyota Corolla (USA production only)
• For Japan-built Corolla models, use Bosch BS832 instead
• Always confirm part number against your VIN or existing shoes

How are these shoes constructed and why does that matter?

Bosch builds the BS801 shoes from 100% new steel and applies a rust-inhibitive coating to metal parts, which improves durability and resists corrosion over time. The bonded, asbestos-free friction formulation provides stable braking characteristics and prolonged service life compared with older formulations.

• 100% new steel core for structural integrity and long life
• Bonded friction (no asbestos) for consistent performance
• Rust-inhibitive coating to slow corrosion on metal surfaces
• Precision engineering to match OE-style fit and alignment

What should I know before installation?

Installation is straightforward if the shoes match your vehicle's specifications; OE-style design reduces fitment issues. However, the purchase does not include installation hardware, so you may need to reuse existing hardware if serviceable or buy a separate spring/hardware kit for complete drum brake maintenance.

• Includes shoes for one axle only (2 wheels)
• Hardware kit not included — inspect springs and retainers before reuse
• Follow vehicle service manual for correct brake adjustment and bedding-in
• Check drum condition and measure to confirm compatibility

Who is this for? Bosch BS801 Blue rear drum brake shoes suit owners and mechanics seeking an OE-style replacement for rear drum brakes on compatible USA-built 2003–2008 Toyota Corolla models. They are ideal if you want asbestos-free bonded friction, corrosion resistance from a rust-inhibitive coating, and durable all-new steel construction. If you need hardware or have a Japan-built Corolla, choose the correct Bosch part or a complete hardware kit to finish the job properly.
