Bosch Rear Drum Brake Shoes BS871 - Blue, Axle Set (2 Wheels) with OE-Style Fit and Asbestos-Free Friction

Bosch BS871 Blue Rear drum brake shoe set delivers OE-style fit and durable, asbestos-free friction for one axle (two wheels).

These Bosch Blue brake shoes are engineered for reliable stopping power and straightforward installation in rear drum systems. Built with bonded, asbestos-free friction material on 100% new steel and finished with a rust-inhibitive coating, the BS871 aims to match original-equipment dimensions so the shoes fit correctly and perform consistently. This listing is for a complete set for one axle (two wheels); note that a separate hardware kit is not included.

How do these shoes fit my rear drum brake system?

The BS871 follows OE-style geometry to make replacement straightforward and reduce the need for modification. Bosch machines the backing plates and contours the friction to align with common rear drum designs, helping ensure correct engagement with the wheel cylinder and drum.

• OE-style dimensions for accurate seating and reduced adjustment
• Designed for rear drum applications—sold as a two-wheel (one axle) set
• 100% new steel backing for consistent shape and strength

What durability features prevent rust and wear?

Metal parts are coated with a rust-inhibitive finish to slow corrosion and maintain function over time. The bonded friction compound is formulated without asbestos, and machining tolerances promote even wear across the shoe surface for predictable performance.

• Rust-inhibitive coating on metal components to extend service life
• Bonded, asbestos-free friction formulation for stable wear characteristics
• Precision engineering to minimize uneven wear and noise

Will installation require extra parts or adjustments?

In many cases the BS871 installs using the vehicle's existing hardware, but some vehicles require replacement pins, springs, or retaining clips. Where applicable, Bosch includes pins and levers in the kit to provide the parts needed for a complete shoe replacement; however, a separate full hardware kit is not supplied with every set.

• Pins and levers included when applicable to offer a more complete installation
• Check vehicle-specific requirements for springs, clips, and self-adjusters
• Minor adjustments may be required to set shoe-to-drum clearance after fitting

Are these Bosch shoes compatible with international market variations?

Bosch supplies parts globally, and international listings may differ in packaging, labeling, or included documents. Always verify the part number against your vehicle’s specifications and review any regional product notes to confirm fit and contents before purchase.

• International products may have different labeling or instructions
• Confirm BS871 fits your vehicle by cross-checking OEM part numbers
• Contact seller with VIN or vehicle details for final fit confirmation
