2114879 Scania BRAKE SHOE

These are the friction part of your drum brakes. Basically, they’re curved pieces of material, usually a composite, that press against the inside of your brake drum when you hit the pedal. That friction is what slows and stops the vehicle. They contain the friction lining, which is the part that actually makes contact and creates the stopping power. There's also a metal ‘shoe’ that provides the structure and supports the lining. Now, drum brakes used to be super common on all four wheels, but now you’ll usually find them on the rear of vehicles, sometimes even just the front on older or simpler setups. The brake shoe sits inside the drum, and when you apply the brakes, a wheel cylinder pushes the shoes outward. That contact creates the friction needed to slow the wheel down. It works alongside other braking components, like the master cylinder and brake lines, to create a complete system. Well, without functional brake shoes, you don't have much stopping ability. They’re essential for safety, plain and simple. You’ll notice if they're wearing down because you might feel a longer stopping distance, a pulsating brake pedal, or even hear a scraping or grinding noise. Think of them as a critical part of your safety net. They act like a shield between you and a potential collision. Neglecting them can lead to more expensive repairs later – you could damage the drums or other parts of the braking system. If you’re doing brake work yourself, you can find good quality brake shoes, and a lot of other parts, at places like Fixparts Online. But the most important thing is making sure they’re in good shape for your safety. Value-packed: Brake Shoe (MPN 2114879) includes a 12-month warranty!
