Carlson Quality Brake Parts 17390 Drum Brake Hardware Kit

The Carlson Quality Brake Parts 17390 Drum Brake Hardware Kit has received mixed feedback from users. On one hand, some customers found the kit to be an exact fit for their vehicles, specifically mentioning a satisfying balance of quality and price. However, this positive reception is tempered by critical reviews highlighting significant issues with fit and perceived quality. One user reported that while all but one of the original components were retained in their installation due to their superior quality, the adjuster from the kit was shorter than OEM standards, which did not allow for sufficient adjustment. Additionally, the springs in the kit were noted to be tighter than necessary, raising concerns about their deployment. Problems with the fit of the 'nails' were also mentioned, as two were improperly bent leading to alignment issues during installation. Another reviewer pointed out that the kit did not fit a 1994 Toyota model, suggesting that compatibility may vary and might be a source of frustration for some buyers. Overall, while Carlson is acknowledged as a leader in the automotive aftermarket, the inConsistency in product quality and fit noted by some users has led to disappointment, making it a mixed recommendation for potential buyers. **
