Choosing a replacement spring
A brake strut spring holds tension in the brake assembly and helps keep the shoes positioned correctly. When a spring weakens or stretches, the shoe can sit unevenly against the drum, so the spring should be replaced along with other worn parts.
Compare the new spring with the one you remove. Check the hook ends, coil shape and overall length against the old part, since a spring that sits differently can change shoe travel. Clean the mounting points before fitting so the spring seats fully.
Brake springs are often replaced together with the shoes, hold-down hardware and adjuster, because wear on one part usually affects the others. Inspect the drum and backing plate while the assembly is open.
