Dorman Rear Parking Brake Hardware Kit HW7329 for Dodge, Ford, Ram — Complete Spring, Clip & Fastener Kit

If your vehicle’s rear parking brake is noisy, loose, or failing to hold, worn or corroded hardware is often the cause. The Dorman HW7329 kit supplies the matching fasteners, springs, clips and retainers needed to rebuild the rear brake parking system to OEM-like specification. Each kit is manufactured from durable materials intended to resist fatigue and provide a long service life under normal driving conditions. Before buying, confirm exact fitment by entering your vehicle make, model and trim into the garage/tool on the product page.

Which vehicles will this kit fit?

The HW7329 is made to fit a range of Chrysler, Dodge, Ford and Ram rear brake assemblies across specific model years. Compatibility covers multiple Durango, Ram 1500, F-Series Super Duty models and others — check the vehicle lookup for precise confirmation. Fitment depends on year and trim, so verifying your VIN or model details prevents installation issues.

• Chrysler Aspen: 2007–2009
• Dodge Durango: 2003–2009
• Dodge/Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Van: select 2002–2010 years
• Ford E-150 / E-150 Club Wagon and F-250 / F-350 Super Duty: specific 2004–2017 years
• Ram 1500: 2011–2018 (select trims)

What parts are included and how do they restore brake performance?

The kit contains the essential parking brake hardware pieces that commonly deteriorate over time — replacing them helps the shoes and actuators operate at correct geometry and tension. By renewing springs, retainers and clips, the parking brake can engage and release more predictably, reducing drag, noise and uneven wear on the brake shoes or rotors.

• Replacement springs to restore proper tension and travel
• Retainers and clips to secure shoe and lever positions
• Fasteners matched to original hardware points for correct fit
• Durable materials chosen for corrosion resistance and fatigue life

How difficult is installation and what should I prepare?

Installation complexity ranges from moderate to advanced depending on your experience with rear brake assemblies. Basic mechanic tools and a safe means to support the vehicle are required; if the backing plate or shoes need removal, spring compressors or specialty pliers simplify the job. Follow a repair manual or OEM procedure to ensure safe reassembly and correct adjustment of the parking brake system.

• Tools: pliers, socket set, jack stands, brake spring tool recommended
• Time: expect about 1–3 hours per axle for experienced DIYers
• Tip: replace shoes or inspect drums/rotors while hardware is renewed
• Safety: always support vehicle on stands and relieve parking brake before disassembly

Why choose this Dorman kit over individual OEM parts?

Opting for a complete hardware kit ensures all interrelated components are replaced together, reducing the chance of mismatched wear or premature failure. Dorman designs these kits to mirror the original parts’ fit and function while using durable materials that meet everyday driving demands. Buying the full set also saves time versus sourcing multiple separate parts.

• Complete solution: all required small parts in one package
• Cost-effective versus buying individual OEM components
• Engineered to match original mounting and function for proper alignment
• Backed by Dorman’s product support and automotive experience
