Buy Parking Brake Shoe & Lining Kit 03+ TJ/KJ (5093390AC)

The Parking Brake Shoe & Lining Kit 03+ TJ/KJ (5093390AC) is a comprehensive

replacement set designed to restore the effectiveness of the parking brake system on Jeep

Wrangler (TJ) and Jeep Liberty (KJ)h vehicles from 2003 onward. This kit is engineered as

a direct OEM‑equivalent replacement, meeting factory specifications for fit, materials,

and performance. It includes both brake shoes and linings required for a complete rear

parking brake job, ensuring that the parking brake can reliably secure the vehicle when parked.

The function of the parking brake—also called the emergency brake—is to hold the vehicle

stationary when parked, especially on inclines. Unlike the primary hydraulic braking system,

the parking brake typically operates through a mechanical cable that engages brake shoes

inside a drum or a specialized assembly integrated into the rear disc brake rotor. Over time,

components such as brake shoe friction material can wear, lose effectiveness, or become

contaminated with moisture and debris, reducing holding power and safety. The 5093390AC

kit addresses these issues by providing new friction surfaces and components built to last.

The kit contains a matched pair of brake shoes

The kit contains a matched pair of brake shoes with pre‑installed linings, precisely shaped to

fit the rear parking brake assemblies used in both TJ and KJ models. The friction linings are

bonded using heat‑resistant adhesives and selected materials that deliver consistent grip and

wear resistance. High‑quality linings help the mechanism resist fade and maintain performance through repeated use and exposure to varying temperatures.

Installation of the 5093390AC Parking Brake Shoe & Lining Kit generally involves removing

the rear wheels and brake drums (or accessing the parking brake assembly through the rotor

hat), loosening the old shoes, cleaning hthe backing plate and hardware, and properly fitting

the new shoes with appropriate return and retainers. It’s recommended to replace related

hardware, such as springs and adjusters, if worn, to avoid installation issues and ensure long‑term reliability.

Signs that parking brake shoes need replacement include a weak or loose handbrake lever, the

vehicle rolling slightly when parked on a slope, or uneven wear when inspected. Replacing worn shoes and linings with the 5093390AC kit restores proper holding force and contributes to overall safety.

In summary, the Parking Brake Shoe & Lining Kit 03+ TJ/KJ (5093390AC) is a vital maintenance part that ensures the parking brake system functions reliably. Its precise fit, quality materials, and complete design make it a practical choice for anyone performing parking brake service on compatible Jeep models.
