As it is set up, left, but it could be either.

Thanks,
I thought so but the picture was labeled as right from the website I
d/loaded it from .... it had me second guessing.


If you look close at the picture, notice that the backing plate
mounting holes for the brake parts can be either right or left - just
depends on which side you are mounting it.


I think the large shoe needs to be on the back side of the assembly. On
either side.


On cars with rear drum brakes, the larger shoe is in the front...
