  • Sized for 10 inch x 1-3/4 inch brakes

  • Limited five-year warranty

Shoe wear and drum condition

Brake shoes wear at the lining and at the contact points on the backing plate, and uneven wear often points to a sticking wheel cylinder or a seized adjuster. Check lining thickness on both shoes and look for glazing, which reduces grip. New shoes should sit squarely on the anchor and the cylinder pistons without binding.

Drums that are scored or out of round will wear new linings quickly, so measure the drum diameter and inspect the surface before fitting new shoes. Replace the hold-down springs and check the adjuster during the same job. Clean the backing plate of dust and apply grease only to contact points, never to the lining. Test the pedal and adjust the shoes before driving. Bed in the new linings with gentle stops.

Questions & Answers

What axle are the Omix-ADA 16726.05 shoes for?

They are for the AMC Model 20 axle with 10 inch x 1-3/4 inch rear brakes. The set includes 4 shoes for the rear axle.

How many shoes are in the 16726.05 set?

The set includes 4 shoes, enough for one rear axle. It also carries a limited five-year warranty. Check the shoe count against your existing set before installing.

Does the 16726.05 fit a 1987 Wrangler YJ?

No. The Wrangler YJ is covered for 1988–1989, so the 1987 model year falls outside this fit. Confirm the year of your YJ before ordering these rear shoes.

Should brake shoes always be replaced in pairs?

Yes, replace both shoes on each wheel together. Uneven shoes brake unevenly and wear the drum differently, so the pair should be changed as a set. Replacing the springs and adjuster at the same time keeps the shoes seated.
