4515 / 4709 / 4711 American Brake Shoes | Main Brake Kits

Product Overview

4515-4709-4711-brake-shoes is a production-line brake shoe set, supplied for aftermarket and OE-equivalent replacement. Measured at 16.5 × 4515 × 4709 in, the part follows the original drawing envelope so it seats on the standard caliper or shoe platform without modification. Applications cover Terberg, which is why fleets standardise on one part number across mixed-brand trailers and tractors. Friction coefficient, wear rate and fade resistance are checked batch by batch, not by sampling one run per month.

Vehicle Fitment

4515-4709-4711-brake-shoes is listed for 1 brand and 3 model lines. Confirm by axle type and OE number before ordering — the same pad or lining can differ by axle variant.

Technical & Material

The shoe platform is precision-cast grey iron, with a friction lining riveted (or bonded) to the platform. Lining formulations are available in semi-metallic and NAO (non-asbestos organic) compounds. Stable friction coefficient across a wide temperature range, strong resistance to thermal fade, and drum-friendly wear that protects the brake drum surface. Supplied as a complete assembly (platform + lining) for fast, workshop-friendly replacement; the lining can also be replaced separately to reduce costs. Key dimensions: 16.5" drum series (4515/4709: 16.5"×7"; 4515 419mm drum, 4709 420×180mm). Manufacturing is carried out under IATF 16949 quality control, with ECE R90-compliant options available for EU-bound volumes. At 16.5 × 4515 × 4709 in, the friction block keeps the original envelope, so caliper or shoe clearance and the wear-sensor slot line up without shimming. The same compound is supplied against 1 brand application. Compound selection (semi-metallic, low-metallic or ceramic) is fixed per part number, so repeat orders match the first shipment.

Installation & Maintenance

Before fitting, clean the drum and shoe contact surfaces and inspect the return springs and adjuster. Set the correct shoe-to-drum clearance, then bed in over the first 200–300 km avoiding hard braking. Replace shoes in pairs (per axle) and at the wear limit to keep braking balanced. For 4515-4709-4711-brake-shoes, replace both sides of the axle together — mixing a new part with a worn one pulls the vehicle under braking.
