Raybestos Rear Parking Brake Shoes for Chevrolet & GMC — 781PG Fit, Riveted/Bonded, Corrosion-Resistant Coating

Raybestos Element3 Rear Parking Brake Shoes (781PG) are replacement rear parking brake shoes engineered for selected Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs to restore secure, balanced parking braking performance.

These Element3 parking brake shoes are a direct-fit replacement designed for rear drum applications on many Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Tahoe, Suburban 1500, Trailblazer and GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon model years listed. Raybestos combines application-specific friction materials, premium coatings and robust construction to deliver consistent engagement and long service life across fleet, police, taxi and consumer vehicles that face heavy or severe-duty use.

How do these shoes improve parking brake reliability?

Element3 shoes use materials chosen for the specific vehicle application so the friction surface mates properly with the drum, maintaining predictable hold and minimizing fade. Premium new steel and precision contour or cam grinding ensure even contact and less chatter during engagement.

• Application-specific friction for consistent bite
• Contour or cam ground for optimal shoe-to-drum contact
• Premium dipped coating to resist corrosion and sticking

What construction features help them last under heavy use?

These shoes are available in riveted and bonded constructions to maximize shear strength and reduce the chance of lining separation under load. The steel backing and friction compound are chosen to withstand frequent engagement cycles typical of fleet or severe-duty environments.

• Riveted or bonded attachment for high shear strength
• Premium new steel backing to prevent distortion
• Durable friction compound tuned for service life

Which vehicles and years do these rear parking brake shoes fit?

The 781PG shoes cover a range of Chevrolet and GMC rear drum parking brake applications across late-1990s to mid-2010s models. Confirm fitment by year and model before ordering to ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s rear parking brake hardware.

• 1999–2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 rear
• 1999–2013 GMC Sierra 1500 rear
• 2000–2014 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500 rear
• 2002–2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer rear; 2000–2014 GMC Yukon rear

How do these shoes resist corrosion and reduce noise?

A premium dipped coating covers the steel backing to block rust and reduce the chance of the shoe seizing in the bracket, which helps maintain smooth parking brake operation. Properly engineered lining attachment and precise grinding reduce vibration and noise during engagement.

• Dipped coating for long-term corrosion protection
• Shear-resistant riveted or bonded linings to limit separation and noise
• Precision finishing to minimize vibration and chatter
