    2017 Mirage brake shoe problems... (some aftermarket shoes won't work)

    I had a 2017 Mirage come in for a check engine light. The brake warning light was on as well. The master cylinder was almost empty... Rh wheel cylinder was shot.
    I could not get the rh drum off. I couldn't get the adjuster wheel to budge. Tried bolting the wheel back on and spinning it while pulling, tried using a slide hammer. After enough prying and crying I got it off. I bent the backing plate a bit, probably could have bent it back and called it good but I replaced it cause I had a spare.

    Both e-brake cables were seized and both front shoes were badly worn. So, I replaced the rh backing plate,wheel cylinder(2017+ only) and e-brake cable. Went to install the new shoes(Raybestos #778PG) and the shoes are mfg wrong. They're the right shape and match up to the old shoes but they're missing the spot where the rear upper spring connects to the rear shoe. (I'll add pics later). I looked up shoes on the rockauto and found that finding the correct rear shoes is gonna be a pita.

    The Bosch BS924, DYNAMIC FRICTION 1901092400 and CENTRIC 11109240 appear to be correct, at least the pics look right.. The rest of the listing for 2017 Mirage shoes are either missing the one hole or are 2015 shoes.
