Brake drum

The brake drum is a car part that ensures that the car can brake. Drum brakes consist of a brake drum and an brake dust shield, on which the brake shoes and wheel brake cylinders are then mounted. When the car's brake pedal is used, the wheel brake cylinders push the brake shoes against the inside of the drum. This creates frictional resistance, which slows the wheel and slows the car. This friction causes wear on the brake drums. Therefore, the brake drums will have to be replaced over time.

Brake drum broken

A number of symptoms may indicate that the brake drums need to be replaced. The brake pedal feel is very important here. One symptom that can indicate a faulty brake drum is the vibration of the brake pedal. Another symptom of a faulty brake drum is a scraping or scratching noise during braking. Have you noticed this noise on your car? Then it is advisable to also check the brake shoes for wear. In general, bad or failing drum brakes are also associated with a malfunctioning parking brake. When the drum brake wears out, the brake shoes can no longer press against the drum properly. This may make the parking brake less effective.

Replace brake drum

Brake drums generally last 75,000 to 130,000 km. As the brake drums begin to wear, they get smaller. It is important to regularly check the brake drums for this. By regularly checking and measuring the brake parts, wear quickly becomes visible. When you replace the brake drum, you will always have to replace it per axle. Replacing only one side can prevent the car from braking properly and create dangerous situations. In addition, it is also important to check the brake shoes and wheel brake cylinders for wear. You can replace these at the same time to save time and effort!
