Bosch has added brake shoes to its line of braking products for the aftermarket. With full line coverage of service brakes and parking brakes for domestic, Asian and European applications, Bosch brake shoes along with other Bosch brake products, provide customers with a total braking package, the company states.

Features of Bosch brake shoes include: 


• Full line coverage of domestic, Asian and European applications


• Matching OE-style design to guarantee proper fit


• 100 percent asbestos-free friction formulations that ensure extended wear, consistent braking performance and long life


• Rust-prevention coating that enhances durability


• Bonded and riveted coverage on most domestic and commercial applications that matches OE method of attachment


• 100 percent all new steel shoe makes for durable construction and long life. There are no remanufactured or core charges

• Complete kit for easy installation. Pins and levers are included where necessary

“Bosch’s extensive OE knowledge and years of experience in the development of braking technology has been critical in helping us design our braking products to offer the same consistent and superior braking performance as OE,” said Mike Jaskae, product manager, braking products for Robert Bosch LLC.
 

Bosch brake shoes cover vehicles from 1942 to the current model year with 12 new parts introduced so far in 2013. Bosch brake shoes provide 98 percent coverage for vehicles in operation (VIO), with 577 SKUs for North America and 75 additional SKUs for specific applications for Latin America.
 


“This is just what you would expect from the world’s largest OE supplier of brake components and the company that brought groundbreaking technologies like Anti-Lock Brakes and Electronic Stability Control to market," said Jaskae. "One out of every three vehicles on the road in North America utilizes Bosch brake components, and Bosch brake shoes continue the Bosch tradition of excellence.”

Toyota FJ Cruiser Water Pump Replacement

Toyota’s original Land Cruiser was the company’s version of a Jeep that could go anywhere. In its time it was highly rated and collected, which led the Japanese juggernaut to bring back an updated SUV in 2007 called the FJ Cruiser. The retro-styled vehicle was again a go anywhere machine powered by a 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) used in the Tacoma. The engines are durable and considered relatively robust for the time.

Long-Life Coolants Explained

Different types of coolants cover a range of applications from diesel to domestic, Asian and European vehicles. Each one is formulated to a specific manufacturer’s specifications to keep their engines at an optimal temperature. But, changes to the old one-size-fits-all formula has led to confusion for consumers and even some technicians.

Diagnosing Intelligent Cooling Systems

The majority of cooling systems on the roads react to what is happening inside the combustion chamber. After the engine is stressed, the heat causes the thermostat to open. Increases in temperatures will also cause the cooling fans to come on. The heat carried by the coolant is the trigger for operation of the fans and thermostat.

Modern Cooling System Design: It’s Not About Temperature; It’s About Powertrain

Given the advanced state of internal combustion engine technology, some recent cooling system innovations will actually increase engine torque and fuel economy while reducing exhaust emissions. Let me simplify that idea: new cooling system technology will make engines run better and cleaner. So, let’s get on the same page by reviewing some basics.
