Description

The Wabco 13057858 Brake Lining 500x120 is a crucial component within the brake drum system, providing the necessary friction to decelerate or stop a vehicle. This brake lining is designed for use in heavy-duty applications requiring reliable stopping power. Engineered to meet OE specifications, this brake lining delivers consistent performance and extended service life. It measures 50 x 255 x 120 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These linings are the friction material that actually stops your vehicle. They’re bonded to the brake shoes inside your drum brakes. When you hit the brake pedal, the shoes press against the spinning drum, and it’s the lining that creates the friction to slow and eventually stop the wheel. Essentially, it's where the stopping power comes from in a drum brake system. They come as a pair, one for each brake shoe. They’re a core component of the drum brake system, which you'll typically find on the rear wheels of many cars and trucks, though sometimes on all four. They work alongside the brake drum, the springs, and the wheel cylinder. When everything is working right, the lining creates consistent, reliable stopping power. You’ll notice if these wear down because you’ll get longer stopping distances, squealing sounds, or the brake pedal might feel spongy.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

They’re absolutely crucial for safety, plain and simple. Worn brake linings mean reduced stopping ability, and that’s a really serious situation. Think of them like a shield – they take the brunt of the heat and friction, protecting the more expensive parts of the brake system. Regular checks and timely replacement are vital. You can find a good selection of these – and everything else brake – related – at places like Fixparts Online. Ignoring worn linings is just asking for trouble, and a much more expensive repair down the road.
