0986490260 Bosch Brake Lining

It’s what actually slows and stops your vehicle when you hit the brakes. The lining contains a high – friction compound that presses against the brake drums, creating the resistance needed to bring the car to a halt. Think of it like the gripping surface on a shoe – it needs to make good contact to work properly. It’s designed to wear down over time as it does its job, so it’s a wear item, just like tires. It's a key part of your drum brake system. Most vehicles now use disc brakes on the front, sometimes the rear too, but many still have drum brakes, particularly in the rear. The brake lining is glued or riveted to the brake shoes, and when you push the brake pedal, those shoes press outward against the inside of the brake drum. That friction is what stops the wheel turning. It works alongside other brake components – the wheel cylinders, springs, and drums themselves. Well, without good brake lining, you have seriously reduced stopping power. You’ll notice if your brakes start to feel spongy or if it takes longer to stop, or if you feel a grinding noise – that’s often a sign the lining is worn down to the metal backing plate. That's not just annoying, it’s dangerous. Worn lining can also damage the brake drums themselves, costing you even more in the long run. Regularly checking and replacing the brake lining is a crucial part of vehicle maintenance. You can find a good selection of brake lining for most makes and models at places like Fixparts Online, and it’s something you can potentially tackle yourself if you’re comfortable with brake work, but if not, definitely have a professional do it.
