03.105.84.18.0 BPW BRAKE DRUM

Basically, the brake drum is the part the brake shoes press against to actually slow down and stop the wheel. Think of it as the surface where the stopping power happens. The shoes grip the inside of the drum, creating friction, and that friction is what kills your speed. It’s a pretty simple design, really. It's a key component of drum brakes, which you’ll find most often on the rear wheels of many vehicles, though sometimes on all four. The wheel spins with the drum, and when you hit the brakes, the shoes press outward against the inner surface of the drum, slowing everything down. It works with the whole braking system—master cylinder, brake lines, wheel cylinders—to give you reliable stopping power. Well, obviously you need to be able to stop! But beyond that, a worn or damaged brake drum can cause a lot of problems. You’ll notice if you're getting a lot of brake dust, or if your car pulls to one side when you brake. A badly scored or warped drum can reduce your braking effectiveness, meaning longer stopping distances. It can also cause noises – squealing, grinding – and wear out your brake shoes faster. You can find replacements for these easily enough, like on Fixparts Online, and it’s a relatively inexpensive repair that keeps you and everyone else safe on the road. It really acts like a shield protecting other more expensive components, so keeping it in good shape is a smart move.
