Fitment & Compatibility
For the specialty Chevrolet 12-bolt rear housing with the specified 3.15-inch bearing and 2.81-inch axle offset. This retained-bearing configuration is distinct from a factory C-clip axle. Treat the listed vehicle names as conditional applications: the installed housing flange and bearing arrangement must match DS525.
The supplied bearing retainers are fitted with the parking-brake backing-plate assemblies. Verify the 2.80-inch register/adaptor arrangement and 6.61-inch maximum axle flange with the required chamfer. Hydraulic plumbing and parking-cable hardware are not supplied; select them for the completed vehicle.
Review the complete fitment table below before purchase, retaining the restrictions attached to the chosen vehicle.
Adjust and test the mechanical parking brake as directed. Cable routing, tension and shoe adjustment affect its holding ability; do not rely on an untested parking brake alone to secure the vehicle on a slope.
