4515Q Brake Shoe

Designed for Class 7–8 long-haul freight tractors, intermodal container chassis, refrigerated reefers, and severe-duty vocational trailers across North America, this 4515Q Brake Shoe provides a heavy-duty unlined steel foundation core for Meritor/Dana Q and Q-Plus style 16.5" x 7" drum brake assemblies. Fabricated from high-yield structural steel plate and calibrated under high-tonnage precision dies, this bare brake shoe skeleton delivers superior structural rigidity, true arc curvature, and exact dual-anchor quick-change geometry to prevent torsional flexing, eliminate shoe chatter, and optimize custom lining reline programs.

Engineered for Class 7–8 line-haul tractors, intermodal container chassis, refrigerated reefers, and severe-duty vocational trailers across North America, this 4515Q Brake Shoe Kit provides a comprehensive single-wheel overhaul package for standard 16.5" x 7" Q and Q-Plus foundation drum brakes. Each master kit bundles two heavy-duty projection-welded steel brake shoes lined with premium non-asbestos friction blocks alongside fatigue-tested dual-spring return systems, case-hardened anchor pins, cam rollers, and retaining clips. Installing this turn-key assembly stops brake drag, restores balanced mechanical release tension, prevents uneven lining taper, and minimizes preventative maintenance bay turnaround time.
