Raybestos 9498R Professional Grade Brake Drum

Perfect fit. Exact item I needed.

Outstanding quality and what I have always experienced with Raybestos. This made the job go so much more smoothly. Thanks!

I have a tough time understanding what Raybestos means by the term "Professional Grade" in regard to these drums. Upon opening both boxes I noticed certain aspects about both pieces that made me doubt they deserved the "Professional Grade" reference. The first one had balancing weights attached to over half the space allocated to them as well as a few slight casting irregularities. The second had very obvious casting irregularities and no balancing weights attached at all. Hard to believe it needed no balancing weights. They also were not the exact same size. I ended up having to use one of the old drums as one of these just would not fit on either side. Very strange experience for me as I've always been a fan of Raybestos. These were made in China and I'm guessing Raybestos hasn't kept up with the quality of parts being produced for them. Not saying I'll never buy Raybestos again, but it definitely won't be sight unseen.

Looks and works fine
