Land Rover Part Number: 576973 - Rear Brake Drum
576973 is a rear brake drum fitted to the rear braking assemblies of long-wheelbase vehicles. It provides the rotating friction surface for the rear drum brake shoes and acts as the structural mounting for the brake shoes and wheel studs; when the wheel cylinders push the shoes outward their linings contact the drum's inner surface to generate braking torque at the rear wheels. The drum's internal surface must remain within wear limits and be free from deep scoring to maintain predictable braking performance; drums may be re-machined within manufacturer limits but must be replaced if they exceed permitted wear dimensions or show heat damage or cracks. This part suits long-wheelbase Series and Defender applications where rear drum brakes are fitted, including specific Series 2 and Series 3 installations and Defender 110/130 rear assemblies to VIN limits.
