MAN 85500013663 Drum Brake Lining

Description

The MAN 85500013663 drum brake lining is a crucial component of a vehicle's braking system, providing the friction necessary to slow or stop the vehicle when the brake pedal is applied. These linings are specifically designed for use in drum brake assemblies, commonly found on the rear axles of various commercial vehicles and trailers. The lining's composition ensures reliable performance under demanding conditions, contributing to enhanced safety and consistent stopping power. These linings measure 40 x 192 x 202 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

These are basically the friction material that presses against the inside of your brake drums. When you hit the brake pedal, it pushes fluid to the wheel cylinders, and those cylinders push these linings outward. That contact creates the friction that slows down or stops your vehicle. It's a pretty simple system, really. They come as curved segments that are bonded or riveted onto brake shoes. Drum brakes, and these linings specifically, are part of your vehicle’s stopping power. Historically they were on all four wheels, but many cars now use them on the rear wheels only, paired with disc brakes up front. They work in conjunction with everything else—the master cylinder, brake lines, wheel cylinders, and the drums themselves—to give you reliable stopping.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, obviously, brakes are kind of essential. These linings are what actually stops the car, so when they wear down, your stopping distance gets longer, and you'll notice if that happens. They act like a shield between the metal brake shoes and the drum, protecting it from damage and giving you the friction you need. If you let them wear too thin, you can damage the drums themselves, which is a much bigger repair. Keeping an eye on them, and replacing them when they’re getting thin, is just good preventative maintenance. You can find these pretty easily online, even places like Fixparts Online have a good selection. They’re not super complicated to replace if you're comfortable working on cars, but if not, it's definitely something to have a pro look at.
