MAN 85500015163 Drum Brake Linings Set

Description

This is a set of drum brake linings, essential components within the drum brake system of a vehicle. These linings are used inside the brake drums, where they create friction against the drum's inner surface when the brakes are applied, slowing or stopping the vehicle. This set is manufactured by MAN with MPN 85500015163. These high-quality brake linings deliver reliable stopping power and extended service life, contributing to enhanced safety and performance.

Key Features & Benefits

These linings are basically the friction material that presses against the inside of your brake drums when you hit the brakes. They’re what actually slows and stops the wheel from turning. The set includes linings for both wheels on the axle, so you get everything you need to do both sides. They're made of a tough, heat – resistant material designed to withstand a lot of rubbing and friction. Drum brakes are a little older technology now, mostly found on the rear wheels of some cars and trucks, and sometimes on all four wheels of older vehicles. These linings are a key part of that system. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes the wheel cylinders outward. That force pushes these linings against the drum itself, creating friction. It’s pretty straightforward mechanically.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without these linings, you’d have no stopping power in that wheel. They wear down over time, just like tires. You’ll notice if they’re getting bad because you might feel a pulsing in the brake pedal, hear squealing or grinding noises when braking, or it’ll simply take longer to stop. Seriously, they're a safety critical item. Ignoring worn brake linings isn’t just annoying, it’s dangerous. You can find a set of these drum brake linings on sites like Fixparts Online, and they’re pretty easy to replace if you’re comfortable doing brakes yourself, or you can take it to a shop. It’s a relatively inexpensive repair compared to other brake work.
