PowerStop Rear Parking Brake Shoes for Dodge Nitro & Jeep Wrangler B941 — Semi-Metallic, Direct-Fit

PowerStop Rear Parking Brake Shoes B941 are direct-fit, semi-metallic replacement shoes engineered to restore reliable parking-brake performance for compatible Dodge and Jeep models.

These brake shoes are built for installers and vehicle owners who need a dependable, long-lasting parking-brake solution. Manufactured from 100% new steel with a corrosion-resistant black coating and a semi-metallic friction compound, the B941 shoes are precision arc-ground for correct drum contact and are post-cured to reduce break-in time. They include chamfered edges to minimize noise and are completely asbestos- and copper-free, meeting modern safety and material standards.

How do these shoes fit my Dodge Nitro or Jeep model?

The B941 shoes are produced to OE-inspired dimensions so they match the factory drum curvature and anchoring points for the listed vehicles. Precision arc grinding ensures even contact across the friction surface to avoid glazing and uneven wear.

• Direct-fit for Dodge Nitro (2007–2011) and Jeep models including Wrangler (2007–2025, specific trims), Wrangler JK (2018), Liberty (2008–2012) and Gladiator (2020–2026)
• Arc-ground shape for accurate mating with original drums
• Black-coated steel backing plate resists rusting during storage and service

What performance benefits do the semi-metallic, post-cured shoes provide?

Semi-metallic compounds combine durable braking friction with consistent response under typical parking-brake use. The secondary post-cure process stabilizes the bond between the friction material and the backing plate, shortening the initial break-in period and helping the shoes reach steady performance faster.

• Semi-metallic friction for durable wear and consistent holding force
• Post-curing reduces initial break-in time and improves bond stability
• Chamfered edges reduce noise, decreasing the chance of chatter or squeal

Are these brake shoes safe and compliant with modern materials standards?

Yes. The B941 shoes are manufactured without asbestos and avoid copper in the friction formulation, aligning with current environmental and health-conscious material practices. Using new steel backing plates and controlled manufacturing processes further reduces contamination and quality variability.

• 100% asbestos-free friction material for safer handling and disposal
• Copper-free formulation to meet stricter regulatory preferences and environmental goals
• New steel backing plates, not recycled, with protective black coating to resist rust

How does installation and maintenance look for these parking-brake shoes?

These shoes are designed for professional installers and experienced DIYers. Because they are arc-ground to precisely fit drum contours, installation requires the standard parking-brake shoe service steps and common drum-brake tools. Proper adjustment after installation ensures correct holding power and even wear.

• Precision cam/arc grinding reduces fitting adjustments at installation
• Compatible with standard drum-brake hardware and springs (check vehicle-specific kit requirements)
• After installation, adjust parking-brake to manufacturer torque/specs for optimal performance

Who is this for: The PowerStop B941 rear parking brake shoes are aimed at professional installers, fleet technicians, and hands-on vehicle owners replacing worn or damaged parking-brake shoes on compatible Dodge and Jeep models. If you need a replacement that prioritizes precise fit, reduced break-in time, and quieter operation while meeting modern asbestos- and copper-free material expectations, these shoes are a practical choice.
