hakukamana Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Short shoe to the front of the truck or long shoe? I got this truck a couple of months ago and everything I tear into is either wrong, backwards or broken and fixed with duck tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Long shoe to the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakukamana Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Thanks Minuit, Everything went well except at NAPA, they had a hardware kit but nothing matched up. Went back and they told me that this is what the computer says is for the truck. I even had the old parts and they said that it was probably from another vehicle.

Eagle Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Don't you love it when the &^$#(&^ parts don't fit, and they just blame it on "the computer"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the time the computer is smarter than the monkey behind the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Yeah -- I especially love it when I need something like a light bulb and they insist on knowing if it's for a 4-cylinder or a 6-cylinder, because their system can't look it up any other way.

Liketosmash Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 When I got shoes for my 87 Advanced Auto listed 2 different sets of brake shoes. I just bought both and returned the ones I didn't need. Definitely seems like there are 2 or maybe even 3 options for rear brake shoes on the Comanches As for the parts houses.... I have bought and returned more parts that didn't fit for this truck then for any other. Just seems like there was a lot of small variability between the Comanches/Cherokees year by year especially during the AMC to Chrysler change over.

Bendix brakes have been around for a long time, and that's what AMC used back into the 1960s, and probably the 1950s. For the MJ and XJ rear brakes, the only options were for 10" x 1-3/4" (Dana 35) and 10" x 2-1/2" (Dana 44 or AMC Model 20). The counter guy should have asked you which size you needed.
