Heavy-Duty 4515Q Brake Shoes for Semi Trucks

The HD Value 4515Q Brake Shoe Kit is designed for commercial vehicle drum brake assemblies requiring the 4515Q brake shoe configuration.

Heavy-duty drum brake systems use friction-lined brake shoes to create braking force against the inner surface of the brake drum. Selecting the correct brake shoe geometry and approved friction material is essential for maintaining the intended performance of the braking system.

This kit is intended for compatible heavy-duty air-operated drum brake assemblies using 16.5-inch x 7-inch 4515Q-style brake shoes.

16.5" x 7" Q-Style Drum Brake Applications

The 4515Q brake shoe configuration is associated with compatible Q-series commercial vehicle foundation brake systems, including qualifying Meritor-style Q brake assemblies.

Potential applications include:

• Class 7 and Class 8 semi trucks
• Heavy-duty commercial truck drive axles
• Commercial tractor-trailer combinations
• Heavy-duty trailer axles
• Dry van and flatbed trailers
• Vocational trucks
• Dump trucks
• Regional delivery vehicles
• Commercial fleet equipment

Compatible foundation brake assemblies may be installed on selected Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt, International, Mack, Volvo, Western Star, and other commercial vehicles.

Fitment Note: Vehicle brand and model alone do not establish compatibility. Verify the original brake shoe style, brake drum dimensions, axle rating, and required friction grade before ordering.

23,000 lb GAWR Standard-Grade Brake Shoes

This HD Value 4515Q brake shoe kit is specified for compatible 23,000 lb GAWR applications using standard-grade friction material.

The 23K designation identifies the intended axle rating category and should not be interpreted as the braking capacity of one individual shoe or wheel end.

Different commercial brake applications may require premium, severe-service, or other specifically approved friction formulations.

Important: Standard-grade 23K friction lining should not automatically be substituted for a different friction grade or brake system configuration. Always follow the vehicle and brake manufacturer's requirements.

New Brake Shoe Kit – No Core Exchange Required

The HD Value 4515Q kit contains new replacement brake shoes, making it a practical alternative to remanufactured brake shoe exchange programs.

Advantages of new brake shoes include:

• No used shoe core exchange required
• New replacement shoe construction
• Convenient ordering for commercial repair shops
• Consistent product identification by shoe style and friction grade
• Practical inventory management for fleet maintenance

What's Included in the 4515Q Brake Shoe Kit?

The HD Value 4515Q New Brake Shoe Kit is configured for one compatible wheel-end brake service.

• Brake Shoes: 2 new 4515Q-style brake shoes with standard-grade friction lining
• Hardware: Associated replacement brake shoe installation hardware
• Service Coverage: One wheel end

Quantity Information: Each purchase includes one kit, not one individual brake shoe and not a complete axle set. Servicing both wheel ends of an axle generally requires two kits, subject to the applicable brake service procedure.

4515Q vs. 4707Q Brake Shoes

Although 4515Q and 4707Q brake shoes may share the same nominal 16.5-inch x 7-inch brake size, they are different brake shoe configurations.

Differences in brake shoe geometry, hardware, and application requirements can prevent interchangeability.

Do not replace a 4515Q brake shoe with a 4707Q shoe solely because the brake drum dimensions match. Always verify the correct foundation brake assembly and replacement shoe style.

Brake Shoe Installation & Fitment Verification

Before purchasing or installing this brake shoe kit, verify the original 4515Q brake shoe configuration, 16.5-inch drum diameter, 7-inch shoe width, axle rating, and required friction material specification.

Inspect the brake drums and foundation brake components for wear, damage, contamination, and proper operation. Follow the applicable manufacturer's replacement, lubrication, adjustment, and return-to-service inspection procedures.

Professional Installation Recommended: Heavy-duty truck and trailer braking systems are safety-critical. Incorrect brake shoe selection, damaged hardware, or improper brake adjustment can compromise braking performance. Brake service should be performed by qualified technicians following approved manufacturer procedures.
