Engineered for Class 7–8 commercial tractors, freight trailers, refuse haulers, and vocational fleets across North America, the 4707 Repair Kit provides a comprehensive foundation hardware overhaul set for heavy-duty drum brakes. Designed for broad compatibility across popular Q and Q-Plus brake profiles, this kit services 4515, 4515Q, 4515X, CA32/4516Q, CA33/4718Q, 4707Q, 4705, 4711Q, 4702, and 4710 brake shoes. Each box bundles high-tensile dual-spring return systems, quick-fit anchor pin retention clips, precision-ground cam rollers, and anti-friction bushings to restore balanced mechanical return action, stop shoe drag, and minimize fleet PM turnaround time.
Severe thermal cycling, heavy gross axle weight ratings, and intense stop-and-go duty cycles inevitably lead to wheel-end hardware fatigue. Weakened return springs and grooved rollers prevent complete shoe retraction, triggering uneven lining taper wear, brake dragging, and costly drum heat checking.Our 4707 Repair Kit provides multi-application flexibility, tight OEM dimensional tolerances, and severe-duty metallurgy tailored to North American long-haul and regional distribution fleets.
Fatigue-Resistant Metallurgy & Induction-Hardened Rollers
Manufactured from high-tensile alloy spring steel, every return and retaining spring undergoes computer-controlled oil quenching and heat treatment. This metallurgical process maintains balanced retracting pull force under continuous brake drum temperatures exceeding 750°F (400°C). Precision-ground alloy steel rollers and anchor pins feature induction-hardened wear zones to eliminate camshaft grooving and flat spots under standard 20,000 to 23,000 lbs GAWR commercial payloads.
Severe-Duty Anti-Corrosion Protection & Universal Fleet Servicing
All steel hardware components receive an electro-plated zinc-dichromate or heavy phosphate finish that shields against road salt, calcium chloride, and harsh winter moisture. By bundling all necessary springs, pins, retainers, and bushings into a single master SKU, maintenance shops can service multiple shoe profiles—including 4515, 4515Q, 4515X, CA32/4516Q, CA33/4718Q, 4707Q, 4705, 4711Q, 4702, and 4710—without stocking fragmented loose hardware.
Key Features & Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Which brake shoe models are compatible with this 4707 Repair Kit?
A: This kit is engineered to service North American commercial drum brake setups utilizing 4515, 4515Q, 4515X, CA32/4516Q, CA33/4718Q, 4707Q, 4705, 4711Q, 4702, and 4710 foundation brake shoes.
Q2: Can this hardware kit be used across both steer, drive, and trailer axles?
A: Yes. As long as the foundation brake uses compatible Q / Q-Plus shoe geometry matching the listed models, this hardware set provides correct spring rates and roller dimensions for drive, steer, and trailer wheel-ends.
Q3: Why should hardware be replaced during every brake shoe replacement?
A: Operating friction heat permanently degrades spring tension and wears flat spots on rollers. Reusing weakened hardware causes incomplete shoe retraction, continuous brake drag, drum glazing, and uneven lining taper.
Q4: How does the surface coating withstand severe winter highway chemicals?
A: All components receive an industrial zinc-dichromate or phosphate finish that passes strict salt-spray tests, effectively resisting rust from calcium chloride, road salt, and humidity.
Q5: Are private labeling, custom packaging, and palletized bulk shipping supported?
A: Yes. As a direct factory manufacturer, we support custom polybag branding, private-label master cartons, and palletized export packaging for North American parts distributors and fleet suppliers.
