Overview

The Crown Automotive J0937952 is a brake shoe hold down kit for 11 inch drum brakes, usable at the front or rear. It fits a range of vehicles from the 1963 J-200 trucks through the 1978 CJ5 and CJ7, including the Commando and Wagoneer (SJ).

The hold down kit keeps the brake shoes seated against the backing plate.

Key features

  • Brake shoe hold down kit for drum brakes
  • For 11 inch brakes
  • Front or rear use
  • Direct-fit replacement design

Keeping shoes seated

A hold down kit keeps the brake shoes pressed against the backing plate so they do not rattle or shift as the drum turns. Springs and pins that have lost their tension let the shoe move, which can change where the lining contacts the drum and cause uneven wear over time.

When the brakes are rebuilt, clean the backing plate and the pin bores, then fit the hardware in a matched set. Check that the shoes slide freely once the hardware is in place, and confirm the adjuster moves without binding. Inspect the hardware again after the first few drives, since new parts can settle.

  • Clean the backing plate before reassembly
  • Check that shoes slide freely on the pins
  • Replace springs and pins as a matched set

Questions & Answers

What brake size is the Crown J0937952 for?

It is for 11 inch drum brakes. The kit works at the front or the rear axle, so one part number covers either axle of a fitted vehicle.

Does the J0937952 fit a Jeep Wagoneer?

Yes. It fits the 1963-1973 Wagoneer (SJ), along with the 1972-1973 Commando and the J-series trucks. A Wagoneer from those years is covered.

Is the J0937952 a hold down kit for one wheel or two?

Check the package contents against your brake before ordering, and count the parts needed for each wheel of the axle.

What signs show the hold down hardware is worn?

Look for springs that have lost tension, pins that wobble in the backing plate, or shoes that sit unevenly. Any of these lets the shoe move during braking and calls for inspection before reassembly.
