Wabco 13057851 Brake Lining 410x180

Description

The Wabco 13057851 Brake Lining 410x180 is a crucial component within the brake drum system, responsible for creating friction against the brake drum to slow or stop the vehicle. It is designed for use in heavy-duty applications where reliable stopping power is paramount. This brake lining is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance. Its dimensions are 40 x 130 x 180 mm. The precise engineering of this brake lining contributes to enhanced braking efficiency, reduced stopping distances, and increased safety for commercial vehicles.

Key Features & Benefits

These are basically the friction material that presses against the inside of your brake drums when you hit the brakes. They create the stopping power. Think of them as the part that actually does the work of slowing down or stopping the vehicle. They’re made of a material designed to withstand a lot of heat and wear, and they’re bonded to these metal ‘shoes’ inside the drum. They’re a key part of your drum brake system, which you'll find usually on the rear wheels of many cars and trucks, though some vehicles use them on all four. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes those shoes outward, and the lining makes contact with the drum. That friction is what slows the wheel down. It’s a mechanical system, so it relies on that direct contact.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without these, you wouldn’t be able to stop reliably – plain and simple. They're your primary stopping force alongside your other brakes. The lining wears down over time, just like tire tread, so it needs to be inspected and replaced periodically. You’ll notice if they're getting thin if your brakes start feeling spongy, you hear squealing noises when braking, or if it just takes longer to come to a complete stop. Ignoring worn linings isn’t worth the risk. We carry a good range of these, and you can also find this 410x180 size at places like Fixparts Online if you want to check prices and availability. It's a pretty straightforward part, but getting the right size is crucial.
