I've had good success with Wagner Thermal Quiet Pads. Just replaced the fronts a couple months ago and will be changing out the rears soon.

The rear are the same as the front. Check RockAuto Parts Catalog It's a fairly common brake and readily available here.

What kind of money do they want for shipping? It may be cheaper to have someone buy locally and send to you through the post office.

Yes Dan, I know, you suggested buying for me my parts for wipers ... and Malcolm (malmills) also . Malcolm done the job for me !
I don't want to bother the whole airstream world each time I need part...but... it is so nice and so cheaper for me than I cannot refuse.
In addition, I collect good address for have a drink when I will trip in usa ! lol

I am going to try to find in eec and I come back to you. Many thanks.
Marc

Glad to hear it worked well. Some day I may need your help in acquiring some Citroen parts.

Yes Marc that's like one of mine but mine is older, 1958, and it's all one color. I also have a CX Estate Diesel. Fun cars.

Hello everyone
I have to check my rear brakes Argosy, I was watching disarm brake drums, to put out the drum must make the first Axle Shaft? or leaves the drum without disassembling the axle? if someone has a picture of how to disarm the drums I'm going to thank a lot
Thank you
Herman
