OEM Honda Brake Drums

The drum brake system for vehicles is an older one, but one that is often still used on today's roads. They consist of a metallic drum that rests on the axle behind the front, rear, or both sets of wheels.

How Do Brake Drums Work?

Brake drums are a system that stops your car, and they work with multiple parts including the brake shoes, pistons, brake cylinders, a brake fluid cable, and an emergency brake lever loaded by springs. When drivers press their brake pedal, the brake pistons engage from the pressurized fluid sending the brake shoes into the drum. The friction created is what slows and stops the vehicle's motion. The friction only lasts for as long as the brake pedal is compressed.

When do Brake Drums Fail?

All brake parts wear at different times but drum brakes can sometimes last between 150,000 and 200,000 miles. Rust and corrosion can alter braking performance, and by 200,000 miles, it's likely you'll notice normal rust plaguing your brake parts if your car is kept outside. Other symptoms like the adjuster can wear down and throw off the proper lining of the shoes and drum. If you notice strange pulling or jerking when braking, or a spongier than normal brake pedal, seek replacements ASAP.
