i've only called them leading/self energizing & trailing shoes, but this site http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doityourself/a/aa03 1701a_2.htm
calls them primary & secondary, and has this noteQuote: |
NOTE: In many cases the primary shoe material is longer than the secondary shoe material. The longer shoe always goes towards the rear of the car and the short shoe towards the front.
|
that i think, is wrong. the leading & trailing will depend on whether the wheel cylinder is located on the top or bottom. only when it's on the top, is the leading/primary/self energizing shoe
towards the front.
either way, just keep'em the same, side to side, or one will work better then the other and pull to that side.
you may have noticed stuff with 2 wheel cylinders, or motorcycles that have a linkage to operate both shoes. that makes both shoes leading/primary/self energizing.
