Brake Shoe Return Spring Set for the rear drum brake assembly. The return springs pull the brake shoes back clear of the drum friction surface once hydraulic pressure in the wheel cylinder is released.

Spring tension is what holds a released shoe off the drum. Springs that have taken a set, or that have corroded and lost temper through repeated heat cycling, allow the linings to trail against the drum - producing binding, overheating, a drop in fuel economy and rapid lining wear.

The springs are routinely renewed whenever the shoes or wheel cylinder are replaced, since the original set will have seen the same thermal history as the linings. Fit with the drum and hub removed, and check the shoe adjuster and wheel cylinder for free movement at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

What is the SMN100250A brake shoe return spring set for?
The SMN100250A is a rear drum brake shoe return spring set for the Land Rover Freelander 1, built 1997 to 2006 up to VIN YA999999. The springs pull the brake shoes back off the drum when you release the brake.
Is this a full set for the job?
This is a return spring set for the Freelander 1 rear drum brakes. Springs are typically renewed as a set when relining shoes or replacing wheel cylinders, so fitting a fresh set on both sides keeps braking balanced.
How do I confirm this fits my Freelander 1?
The SMN100250A fits Freelander 1 rear drum brakes up to VIN YA999999 (L314). Confirm your vehicle has rear drums rather than discs and that its VIN falls below that break before ordering.
Why do brake shoe return springs fail?
Return springs weaken or corrode over time, especially on the Freelander 1 rear drums. Tired springs let shoes drag on the drum, causing overheating, uneven wear and poor release. Renew them whenever the drums are opened for a shoe change.
