Hello i was wondering if anyone can help me with this question.

What the HELL is this called?



It goes where the highlighted red circle is to hold your parking brake pads in place....It came off and its damaged and i cant get it back in for the life of me...+ where the red circle is [that bolt thing] is also slightly damaged on one side...If someone could help me by giving me the name of these pieces so i could buy new ones..any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Good luck - the service manual is available here on this site; I looked it up, but the brake diagram doesn't show that part.
Check this:

You could always print out that page, and take that and the f'd up part to the dealer, to show them where it goes - I would expect they could get it for you.

 

i always just go to the dealer and ask them to see the diagram on the comp at the parts computer and show them exactly what i need.

 

i wanna call it.. the parking brake shoe strut.

 

Thanks for all your answers. You don't suppose this is something i could find at Auto Parts huh? lol

The diagram should help a bunch so i dont have to describe the part. I guess to the dealer it is.

 

Not really an auto parts store type of part. The dealer will not charge out the butt for something like that though.

 

umm... it would look like it would stay in place if you hooked both the springs on them.. wouldn't it?

how did it come off in the first place?

 

your not going to find this part in any auto parts store by itself. best bet is dealer, but your going to have to buy the whole parking brake hardware kit, or try a junkyard.

 

Yea, thats that i ended up doing. It just wasnt as sturdy and snug as the other side. Hopefully it'll stay on. Thanks for the input.


Lol yea i went to the dealer and they were charging me like 30 dollars for the parking brake shoe adjuster. Which i also needed... The only option was to buy the whole assembly. I ended up picking it up at the junkyard.
