0204113501 Bosch Drum Brake Shoes

These are essentially the friction material that slows and stops your vehicle when you hit the brakes, but specifically for drum brake systems. They’re curved pieces of material, usually composite, that press outwards against the inside of the brake drum when you apply the brakes. They create the stopping power – the friction is what actually slows the wheel down. They work alongside the wheel cylinder, which pushes them out. Drum brakes are typically found on the rear wheels of many vehicles, although some older cars have them all around. The shoes live inside the brake drum. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder goes to the wheel cylinder, which pushes the shoes outward against the drum. It’s a contained system, so it’s different than disc brakes which you can see. They work in concert with the front brakes to bring the vehicle to a controlled stop. Well, obviously, brakes are pretty crucial! The shoes are what actually do the stopping, so when they wear down, your stopping distance increases. You’ll notice if they get really bad – things like longer stopping distances, squealing noises, or even the car pulling to one side when braking. It’s a safety thing, pure and simple. Worn shoes can also damage the brake drums themselves, making repairs more expensive down the road. We carry a pretty good selection of these at Fixparts Online, and honestly, replacing them when they’re worn is a lot cheaper than dealing with an accident or major drum damage. It’s just good preventative maintenance. Guaranteed quality: Drum Brake Shoes (MPN 0204113501) includes a 12-month warranty!
