Mechanics know that changing the brake shoes on their customers' vehicles is necessary for their safety. Drum brakes apply friction on the shoes to slow down the rotation of the wheels and the movement of the vehicle. This friction causes the brake shoes to wear down over time. If they are not replaced, the stopping distance can increase. In addition, customers may need to make more costly repairs to their vehicles. When customers come in to have their tires rotated, it is easy to examine the thickness of the remaining material to ascertain whether parts need to be changed.
Replacing Brake Shoes and Hoses
When customers experience noise, squealing, or vibrations when slowing their vehicles, there are a number of parts that may be needed.
- Shoes or pads, depending on whether the stopping system in the vehicle has drum or disc brakes, need to be changed before they wear too much.
- Many vehicles that make use of pads still employ a drum brake for the handbrake. The shoes inside may need to be replaced if the driver needed to use it to avoid an accident or forgot to release the handbrake before driving.
- In addition to these components, periodically it is wise to replace hoses that carry fluid or air in the system.
