Low Quality Brake Drums

[Joe Mc]

NAPA dosen't always have the least expensive parts. They typically have high quality. Even though the search I did showed one result they may have quality options. Call and ask...

Rock Auto has some decent options,

Both are about $67 to $95 a piece shipping was like $8 a drum FedEx a few days for me to NJ. I have had good luck with parts from them and they have a 30day return policy if you get some sort of bad looking part.

I picked the cheaper Daily Drivers at $67 each.

The Bendix ones 12m/12k miles.

The Raybestos ones say Lifetime warranty on workmanship.

The description of both say machined and balanced.

NAPA is simply not the quality auto parts store they used to be.

I looked at those hoping to find where they’re made but couldn’t find it anywhere, even Amazon, where I asked the question and got no answer. All the images on both manufacturers websites and on Amazon display the casting number “80022” that Mike mentioned in post #7.

Not saying the Raybestos or Bendix drums are bad products, but in my experience, if a product is made in the US it’s proudly displayed. If made in China, you can’t find it anywhere.

Sadly, brand names don't seem to mean much anymore. Companies are more than willing to prostitute their names on sub-par components. No pride.

YEP sad but true!!! NAPA used to be good as or better than OE, that was their claim.

Have you checked Ebay for a used set?
