Chrysler 300 Drum Brake Shoes

Though most modern cars are equipped with disc brakes, which are more effective and easier to service, drum brakes are still preferred in some specific cases. They are cheaper and can last longer depending on their application, especially on the rear axle. In the meantime, their efficiency can be completely enough for many cars, and some versions of the Chrysler 300 equipped with drum brakes are no exception. A drum brake mechanism includes a drum connected to the wheel axle and a couple of curved brake shoes, forced outward against the inner surface of the drum.

Like the brake pads in disc brakes, the brake shoes contain a metal supporting frame and linings made from a special compound to create needed friction to stop the car. Brake shoes are consumable parts in drum brakes. Several compounds are available, and each of them features specific characteristics for different applications. Usually they are made from metal powder, zinc, aluminum, lead or brass, combined with rubber or organic materials.
