What are the Brake Shoes (Rear) all about?

Brake shoes are found only at the rear wheels in cars with a drum brake system. When you step on the brake pedal, brake shoes press against the brake drums to cause friction that slows down the car. Brake shoes usually last twice as long as brake pads.

Keep in mind:

  • Both brake shoes should be replaced at the same time.
  • Damaged brake drums and leaky wheel cylinders can sometimes cause damage to brake shoes, so those elements may need replacing as well.

How it's done:

  • Inspect brake shoes for contamination and thickness.
  • Replace brake shoes if faulty.
  • Adjust the brakes.
  • Inspect springs, backing plate, brake cylinders, brake drums, and emergency brake cable.
  • Lubricate the backing plate.
  • Perform basic safety inspection, including test drive.

Our recommendation:

It is a good idea to get the brake shoes inspected and measured once a year. To inspect brake shoes, the mechanic will usually have to take the tires off. If you are getting a brake service, and if the brake shoes are still good, just have them cleaned and adjusted. Get your brake system inspected if the brake warning light is on. If the shoes need replacing, we highly recommend ceramic brake shoes.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Brake Shoes (Rear)?

  • Noise from rear brakes.
  • Hand brake does not hold.
  • Car shakes upon braking.

How important is this service?

All services associated with proper function of your brakes are important. In addition to safety issues, ignoring small repairs can quickly lead to more serious (and more expensive) problems.

Saab 9-3 L4-2.0L Turbo - Oil Change - Orlando, Florida
My service appointment with Allen was very good. He arrived early and that was ok as well. He was very accommodating to my questions and concerns. He made me feel comfortable and I can trust his knowledge, experience and knowing he will do the job right. It was important to him that the job was done right and to be honest with all the work done and to be done in the future. He even adjusted the initial quote as I did not need as many quarts of oil as was originally estimated. This is important and goes a long way in developing trust and a long term relationship to look after my car. This made me feel more at ease and I will definitely be utilizing Allen again at Your Mechanic to help me keep my car running and on the road. Very good experience and Allen was top notch.

Saab 9-3 L4-2.0L Turbo - Pre-purchase Car Inspection - Winchester, Massachusetts
When it comes to experiences with a mechanic, this has been the absolute best and most pleasureful $$$ I've ever spent. I do not trust people under the hood of my cars but hands down I wouldn't hesitate to call this mechanic to do anything for me. He is very knowledgeable when it comes to GM cars even ones made in Finland such as my Saab. We had a dialogue about potential issues and problems that he could find with this particular car and he gave me honest feedback about this purchase. Upon inspecting the car he found absolutely nothing wrong with it and he was honest very thorough and addressed every concern that would have been a deal breaker for this purchase. Unfortunately I am NOT from the Massachusetts area but if I were he would be the only person I would recommend to put his hands under the hood of my car. Thanks for everything that you have done and you have made my car buying experience easier.
