Troubleshooting
Brake shoe rattles after installation.
Verify that the spring is correctly installed and providing adequate tension. Ensure the associated brake pin and washer are also correctly fitted and that the spring is not damaged or weakened.
Spring does not fit correctly.
Double-check the compatibility with your vehicle model and year. Confirm that you are using the correct companion parts (brake pin and washer) as specified by Connect. Ensure no debris is obstructing the installation.
Reduced braking performance.
While brake springs are not a direct cause of reduced braking, improper installation or a weakened spring can affect brake shoe positioning. Re-inspect the entire brake shoe hold-down mechanism, including the springs, pins, and washers, for correct fitment and integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These brake springs are intended to be installed as part of a brake shoe hold-down mechanism. They are designed to work in conjunction with Connect Brake Pin Part No 34167 and Connect Brake Washer Part No 34173. Ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris before installation. Consult your vehicle's service manual for the correct installation procedure for brake shoe hold-down springs.
Compatibility: This 5-piece set is specifically designed for use with Fiat, Ford, Mazda, KIA, and Hyundai vehicles. They serve as a top-up for assorted brake shoe hold-down kits, notably part number 31891. Always verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model and year, and ensure they are the correct size (14.5mm x 22.5mm) for your brake system components.
Care: Brake springs are critical safety components. Inspect them regularly for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. If any damage is observed, they should be replaced immediately. Due to their position within the brake system, they require no special cleaning beyond what is involved in a standard brake service. Ensure they are kept dry and protected from excessive rust or contaminants during storage.
