Keeping Your Drum Brakes in Top Shape
Your vehicle's brake system is vital for your safety, and properly maintaining your drum brakes ensures reliable stopping power every time you hit the brake pedal. Like disc brakes, drum brakes convert hydraulic pressure into mechanical force to slow your vehicle. The brake shoes expand inside the drum, and the friction material creates the resistance needed to slow or stop the vehicle safely.
While drum brakes were once the industry standard on all wheels, today they are primarily found on the rear wheels of many economy cars, including popular models from Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, and Dodge. Drum brakes also serve a dual purpose by acting as your parking brake, using a mechanical cable to expand the brake shoes and keep your vehicle stationary when parked.
At MRI AutoCare - NAPA AUTOPRO in Calgary, we understand the critical role drum brakes play in your vehicle’s performance. That’s why we recommend a brake inspection at least every 3,000 to 5,000 miles or during regular oil changes. If you're in US or nearby cities like Evergreen, Calgary, AB, Bridlewood, Calgary, AB, Silverado, Calgary, AB, Calgary, AB, or Lake Bonavista, Calgary, AB, visit MRI AutoCare - NAPA AUTOPRO, and we can usually perform a drum brake inspection while you wait!
Signs You Need Drum Brake Service
As drum brakes wear down over time, you might notice:
-
Brake shoes worn to less than 2mm thick: worn shoes can reduce braking efficiency and must be replaced immediately.
-
Unusual brake pedal feel: A softer or less responsive brake pedal could indicate worn-out or misadjusted drum brakes.
-
Grinding, squealing, or scraping noises: sounds that suggest worn brake shoes or damaged internal components.
-
Parking brake problems: difficulty keeping your vehicle stationary could mean the mechanical parking brake system inside the drums needs attention.
-
Rust or worn components: Springs, levers, and cables inside the drum can wear out, corrode, or seize with time.
Even if you haven't noticed these symptoms, proactive maintenance can save you money and prevent serious brake system failures. At MRI AutoCare - NAPA AUTOPRO, we perform comprehensive inspections to detect minor issues before they become costly problems.
