When you press the pedal and the wheel cylinder extends, the push bar spreads the shoes outward against the drum, generating braking force. A bent, worn, or missing push bar means the shoes don't spread properly, and brake performance suffers. Push bars wear at the contact points where they ride against the wheel cylinder pistons and the brake shoes, so replacement during a brake rebuild is cheap insurance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVW Beetle:\u003c\/b\u003e 1958–1979 (rear drum brakes)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOther VW Applications:\u003c\/b\u003e Same rear drum brake design — verify with us before ordering for non-Beetle applications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFunction:\u003c\/b\u003e Brake shoe spreader bar inside the rear drum brake\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Refurbished original factory German VW\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFinish:\u003c\/b\u003e Powder coated\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSold As:\u003c\/b\u003e Left or right (specify when ordering)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e #R73\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDo I need left and right, or are they the same?\u003c\/b\u003e The push bars are side-specific.
