What are drum brakes all about?

In older vehicles (usually ones manufactured before 1999), the rear brakes are drum brakes. The drum is a large medal cylindrical housing with brake shoes attached to it. When you press on the brake pedal, brake fluid helps the brake shoe apply pressure to the brake drum, which slows down your vehicle. Over time, the brake drum will wear thin, as constant friction with the brake shoe wears the drum away. When this happens the drum brakes will need to be adjusted to keep them close to the shoe, so that braking is still efficient.

Keep in mind:

  • Some drum brakes systems adjust automatically.
  • When adjusting the drum brakes it’s important to check the wear and tear on both the drums and the brake shoes, to see when both will need to be replaced.

How it's done:

  • Adjust the rear drum brakes

Our recommendation:

Your entire braking system should be routinely serviced. Each component of your system, including the drum brakes, should be examined during tuneups and servicing, and you should schedule regular inspections for the braking system. The braking system is the most critical safety feature on your vehicle, so you should not postpone brake-related services.

What is a common symptom indicating you need to adjust the drum brakes?

  • Softer brake pedal

How important is this service?

Older cars rely on drum brakes for the rear wheels. Drum brakes are a large, metal cylindrical housing on each wheel that are necessary to help your vehicle slow down or stop. Attached to the drum brakes are the brake shoes. When you deploy the brake pedal, brake fluid runs to the brake shoes, and helps them apply pressure to the brake drums. The friction between the drums and the shoes slows down your vehicle. This constant friction makes the drum brakes thinner over time, as the surface layer of the drum keeps wearing off. As the drums become thinner, the space between them and the shoes grows. This distance means that the shoes do not come into as strong of contact with the drums as they normally do, and the braking system will be less efficient than normal.

Toyota Prius V L4-1.8L Hybrid - Replace plastic undercarriage splash shields/covers (3 total) ; parts supplied by me - Cranston, Rhode Island
Helder texted and came early. He was to replace damaged splash shield cover parts. I got the parts, but alas I got some wrong parts. Helder reworked and repaired defective parts. Very creative mechanic. I thought I would have to pay and reschedule. Helder saved the day. He did leave a wooden block on a wheel..

Toyota Prius V L4-1.8L Hybrid - Brake Rotor/Disc Replacement (Front) - Frederick, Maryland
Let me start by saying I don't take kindly to shops trying to take advantage of me. I was told by a local shop that I've been to a few times that I needed front brake pads and rotors and rear rotors. The price they quoted me was a bit high so I called a few other places. My last resort was YourMechanic.com. Their original quote for the front and rear pads and rotors was very reasonable and I was ready to have the service done. I scheduled an appointment and within a few minutes received a phone call asking to reschedule since the mechanic was taking time off. I was totally fine with that, and when he showed up on the scheduled date; he informed me that I didn't need rear rotors so I'd be saving around $300. Granted the service didn't get done until today, I'm still very happy with what I've paid and I couldn't have asked for a more polite and hardworking individual. Brian is very professional, doesn't slack off, arrives either early or on time and gets right to work.

Toyota Prius V L4-1.8L Hybrid - Spark Plugs - San Diego, California
Chris offered to come earlier than the scheduled appointment which was great. He performed the service quickly and even cleared out some debris that was under my hood. Definitely seems competent and ensured the car was fully operational before leaving. Would definitely recommend him to others
