Dodge Challenger Brake Drums

Drum brakes have provided stopping power since the first years of the twentieth century, when they were first introduced. In the 1970s, disc brakes became the standard on most cars, but drum brakes still are a favorite choice for owners of certain vehicle types, such as heavy-duty pickups. They also can be found on the rear wheels of muscle cars, just like your Dodge Challenger. Compared to disc ones, drum brakes have lower production costs and their maintenance is easier, yet they are subject to excessive heating and they can collect water.

A drum brake is substantially made of a drum that houses a couple of shoes, a wheel cylinder, a couple of pistons, a backing plate, an adjuster, and a series of springs and pins. When the brake fluid enters the cylinder, the pistons push the shoes against the drum, which provides the friction surface. The adjuster maintains the optimal relative positions among various components.
