Ford F-350 Drum Brake Shoes

Nowadays most vehicles are equipped with disc brakes in front, which are considered to be more technologically advanced due to their greater resistance to fading and better cooling. But a front-disc / rear-drum architecture is still widely used. Drum brakes are less noisy, and what is more important, they facilitate parking brake design and have better stopping ability at the rear wheels . Typically, drum brakes contain a pair of so called shoes, providing the friction linings with the metal frames.

When you need to stop your Ford F-350, brake shoes, which are bent friction plates, press against the inner part of the brake drums, slowing the wheels and eventually stopping the vehicle. Because brake shoes work constantly using friction, gradually they tend to wear out and need replacement. If you have started hearing strange noises when you press or release the pedal, the brake response is reduced, or parking brake has become loose - get ready for replacement. In our online store you can find top-notch Ford F-350 drum brake shoes by Dorman , Motorcraft, Centric, and Carlson to restore your vehicle’s braking system.
