Information
What are drum brakes?
Some vehicles have disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear wheels. Drum brakes have more parts than disc brakes. In a drum brake, friction is created by brake pads or brake shoes that press againt the inner surface of a rotating drum, which is connected to a rotating wheel.
How can I tell if the drum brakes need to be replaced?
The most common service needed for drum brakes is changing out the brake shoes if the friction material gets worn. If a worn-out brake shoe is used for too long, grooves get worn into the drum. The drum will then need to be refinished or replaced.
What are my options?
The vehicle can be taken to a local dealer or repair shop. If an owner is skilled and has adequate tools and equipment, they may be able to replace a drum brake. There are automotive websites that advertise brake repair and replacement services. Other vendors sell repair manuals and parts online for specific makes and models.
