The Chrysler Newport brake shoes do need replacing about every 50K miles or so. When replacing the Chrysler Newport brake shoes be sure to check the hardware and the wheel cylinders for damage or leakage. This is also a good time to check the brake drums for scoring or unusual wear. The Chrysler Newport brake shoes come in a primary and a secondary shoe that needs to be replaced in the exact location that they were removed from.
Leaking Chrysler Newport wheel cylinders are the number one cause of brake system failures on Chrysler's equipped with rear drum brakes. The o-rings on the Chrysler Newport wheel cylinder pistons wear out over time and let the brake fluid seep thru to the outside of the cylinder. The wheel cylinder boot usually traps a small amount of fluid before it contaminates the entire rear brake assembly.
