Genuine Mopar Brake Drums

Brake drums are a vital component of your car's braking system, responsible for slowing down and stopping the vehicle's motion. They work in conjunction with other braking components to ensure safe and reliable braking performance.

The Role of Brake Drums in Your Car's Braking System

When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is applied to the brake shoes inside the brake drums. These brake shoes press against the inner surface of the brake drums, generating friction. This friction slows down the rotation of the wheels, eventually bringing the vehicle to a stop.

Other Brake System Components

Brake drums are just one part of the complex braking system. They work together with several other components, including brake shoes equipped with friction material and make contact with the brake drums to generate the necessary friction for braking.The hydraulic wheel cylinders apply force to the brake shoes, pressing them against the brake drums. Also, brake springs and adjusters which help ensure proper brake shoe alignment and adjustment are other key pieces to drum braking system.

Symptoms of Failing Brake Drums

Over time, brake drums may wear down or become damaged, leading to potential issues. Some common symptoms of failing brake drums include brake pedal feels spongy or goes to the floor. Also, pulsating or vibrating brake pedal while braking. Also if you notice any squealing, grinding, or scraping noises while braking, this could indicate your drums need a speedy replacement.
