Hyundai Santa Fe Brake Shoe Set

Brake Shoes For Drum Brake Systems

Brake shoes are curved friction components that press against the inside of a brake drum. They serve a different brake arrangement from disc pads, which contact a rotor. Identify the actual brake system and position before selecting replacement shoes.

A-Premium offers rear drum-brake shoe sets for selected cars and trucks as well as shoes listed for a specific ATV application. Vehicle type and brake configuration both matter: a rear-wheel location alone does not establish that a car has service drum brakes.

Choosing A Brake Shoe Set

Match the shoes to the vehicle's brake design, drum size and required position. Some applications within a model line use rear drum brakes while others use discs. Follow the configuration stated for the selected part.

Service Brake Shoes And Parking Brake Shoes

Some vehicles use a drum brake for regular braking. Others use disc brakes for regular braking and a separate small drum-in-hat mechanism for the parking brake. Select shoes for the system being repaired; a parking-brake shoe is not automatically a service drum-brake shoe.

Noise, weak braking or poor parking-brake holding can have several causes, including worn friction parts or related hardware. Inspect the complete affected mechanism and follow the specified service and adjustment procedure.
