Dodge Ram Brake Drums

Although drum brakes were mostly superseded by disc brakes, they still have high popularity and are installed mainly on a rear axle. Usually, drum brakes provide noise-free operation and have a simpler design of a parking brake compared to disc brakes. Like all other types of brakes, drum brakes use a so-called friction pair, which consists of brake shoes and brake drums in this case. Apart from their main function, brake drums perform another useful one – they absorb and discharge the heat generated during braking. Malfunctioning brake drums may be the root cause for bad operation of the brakes at increasingly high temperatures.

Such brake parts as drums, shoes, pads, and rotors cannot be repaired. The worn or damaged parts must be replaced only, so to complete your brake repair job, you may need new replacement drums.
