ACDelco Professional 18B232 Rear Brake Drum

Worked perfectly on the 2003 Jeep TJ

I recently installed the ACDelco Professional 18B232 Rear Brake Drums on my 2002 Jeep TJ, and they’ve been outstanding! These drums are a perfect fit for my 1997-2002 model, aligning seamlessly with the OEM specs. The G3000 SAE-qualified cast iron construction feels incredibly solid, and the fact that they’re pre-balanced and require no machining made installation a breeze—done in under an hour. After several off-road trips and daily driving, the braking performance is smooth, with no noise or vibrations. They even came nicely packaged with a protective oil coating to prevent rust. Great value and top-notch quality—highly recommend these ACDelco drums for any Jeep TJ owner looking to refresh their brake system.

Oddly I received two different looking drums, one machined beautifully on the outside to almost mirror finish (which rusted immediately lol) and one with usual sandcast rough outside frying pan finish (that hasn't rusted...yet). Shipped from two different US locations, both made in China. But they fit and work perfect, equal bias under hard braking.. On the XJ for about five months now. Was very careful to follow the break in procedure listed in the instructions, so I have no shudder. Drum brakes are a complicated mess to work on, I think they were invented in the 1800s for stopping trains. Good luck getting it all back together. Thank you AC/Delco for making QUALITY parts for our Jeeps!!!!!!!

These drums fit perfectly on my rig, took the fire engine red paint well after self etching primer was applied, were not out of round or warped in any way, and seem either comparable or better than the OEM drums they replaced. Since the OEM drums lasted over 250K miles before needing replaced, I seriously doubt I will need to do this again on this Jeep...ever. I'm sure it would have been an excellent opportunity to replace the axle seals while her rear end was up in the air--If I felt like screwing with the differential and buying new gear oil that is. I did not, so I didn't. Still, good parts for a decent price and I would buy these again if I needed to.
