1995 Jeep Cherokee brake question
 

I have a question concerning the rear brake shoe configuration on a 1995
Jeep Cherokee.-

Can anyone provide information on where the shoe with the shorter friction
surface should be installed (toward the front or rear).

In my experience the shorter shoe is always installed towards the front when
the shoes are of differing sizes, but I am getting conflicting information
from another Jeep owner that this is not the case with the Cherokee and the
shorter shoe must be installed towards the back.

I would appreciate any feedback on this matter as one of us is wrong (and
has their brakes on backwards :-)

Thanks in advance
Sam

You are correct.

The longer secondary shoe holds the parking brake hardware.

If you think about this for a long time, you might convince yourself that
there is a reason for it. I tried, but I just didn't get it. I did notice
that when people put them on backwards, the short shoe wears out way too
fast.
