079109470 Volkswagen LINING

These are basically the friction material that presses against the brake drums – think of them as the part that actually stops the car when you hit the pedal. They’re designed to create a lot of friction, slowing down or stopping the wheel’s rotation. They come as curved shoes, and the lining is bonded to that metal shoe. They're a core part of your drum brake system, usually on the rear wheels these days, though older cars had them on all four. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes those shoes outwards, and the lining makes contact with the inside of the drum. It’s a pretty simple system, but relies entirely on that friction. It acts like a shield, converting the energy of the moving wheel into heat, which slows things down. Well, obviously, stopping is pretty important! If your brake linings are worn down, you’ll notice if you have to press the pedal further than usual to get the same stopping power. You might also hear squealing or grinding noises, or even feel a pulsing in the pedal. Bad linings mean longer stopping distances, and that's a safety issue. They wear down over time with use, like anything that creates friction, so they need to be inspected regularly and replaced when they get too thin. You can find a good selection of brake linings at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re usually a fairly straightforward repair if you’re comfortable doing it yourself, but if not, get it checked by a professional. Proven reliability: Brake Lining (MPN 079109470) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
