Key Features & Benefits

This drum brake, simply put, is what actually stops the wheel from turning. It’s a big metal cylinder, and inside, brake shoes press outwards against the inside of the drum when you hit the brake pedal. That friction is what slows and ultimately stops your vehicle. The 360x170 refers to its dimensions—how wide and tall it is, specifically—and the Z – E is just the manufacturer's code to identify it. It's a core part of your braking system, naturally. Most vehicles either use drum brakes on all four wheels, or drum brakes on the rear and disc brakes up front. It works alongside everything else—the brake lines, master cylinder, and so on—to give you reliable stopping power. It receives the force from the wheel cylinder, which is what pushes the brake shoes out.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, your brakes are probably the most important safety feature on your car. This drum is a big part of that. If it’s warped, cracked, or excessively worn, your stopping distance increases—obviously not good. You’ll notice if it's really bad—pulsating when you brake, strange noises, or the car pulling to one side. Keeping your drums in good shape—along with the shoes, wheel cylinders, and everything else—means you can react quickly and safely. You can usually find these drums, and all the related hardware, at places like Fixparts Online if you prefer to do the work yourself. Just make sure you get the right size and fit for your vehicle.
