What are drum brakes all about?

In older vehicles (usually ones manufactured before 1999), the rear brakes are drum brakes. The drum is a large medal cylindrical housing with brake shoes attached to it. When you press on the brake pedal, brake fluid helps the brake shoe apply pressure to the brake drum, which slows down your vehicle. Over time, the brake drum will wear thin, as constant friction with the brake shoe wears the drum away. When this happens the drum brakes will need to be adjusted to keep them close to the shoe, so that braking is still efficient.

Keep in mind:

  • Some drum brakes systems adjust automatically.
  • When adjusting the drum brakes it’s important to check the wear and tear on both the drums and the brake shoes, to see when both will need to be replaced.

How it's done:

  • Adjust the rear drum brakes

Our recommendation:

Your entire braking system should be routinely serviced. Each component of your system, including the drum brakes, should be examined during tuneups and servicing, and you should schedule regular inspections for the braking system. The braking system is the most critical safety feature on your vehicle, so you should not postpone brake-related services.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to adjust the drum brakes?

  • Softer brake pedal

How important is this service?

Older cars rely on drum brakes for the rear wheels. Drum brakes are a large, metal cylindrical housing on each wheel that are necessary to help your vehicle slow down or stop. Attached to the drum brakes are the brake shoes. When you deploy the brake pedal, brake fluid runs to the brake shoes, and helps them apply pressure to the brake drums. The friction between the drums and the shoes slows down your vehicle. This constant friction makes the drum brakes thinner over time, as the surface layer of the drum keeps wearing off. As the drums become thinner, the space between them and the shoes grows. This distance means that the shoes do not come into as strong of contact with the drums as they normally do, and the braking system will be less efficient than normal.

Lexus ES330 V6-3.3L - Power Steering Pump - Buford, Georgia
Initially I was a little skeptical about using a mobile mechanic. However, I decided to give it a shot and scheduled an appointment with YouMechanic to fix my power steering pump. I was able to pick a time and date that was convenient with my schedule. I picked a Sunday at 7am. I knew this was extremely early and that I was even going to have to be awake at that time; however, I have had bad experiences in the past where a simple 1 hour repair has held me hostage in the repair shop for the entire day. I didn't want my entire day wasted. YourMechanic advised me that the replacing the power steering pump would take 2 hours and that my mechanic, Justin Barnes, would call me when he was on the way. Sunday morning I received a call from Justin that he was on his way. He arrived on time and got straight to work. He was friendly, professional, and completed the job on time. I have driven the car for three days now and it feels like a new car. I haven't had any problems. The price was very competitive, almost half as much as I had previously been quoted. So far, I can say that I am extremely satisfied with YourMechanic and with Justin Barnes' work. I can easily see me using them again and recommending others to use them too.
