Rear Brake Drum

Rear brake drums are a critical component of drum brake systems, typically found on the rear wheels of many vehicles. They work by using brake shoes that press outward against the inner surface of the drum to create friction, which slows down or stops the vehicle. Many current vehicles may not have brake drums, but instead, they have disc brakes. This is mainly because disc brakes are better at dissipating heat but are often more expensive and don't last as long as drum brakes. That said, brake drums often have more parts, making replacement difficult. Still, replacement may be necessary as drums may accidentally trap water and wear down quicker when combined with ineffective heat dissipation.

Effective and working rear brake drums are necessary to keep the vehicle stable whenever you brake. Therefore, inspect your rear brake drums regularly.
