You may notice that the Buick Electra brake pedal has a slight pulsation up and down when lightly braking. If this is happening the Buick Electra rear brake drums are warped and in need of replacement. The cost of new Buick Electra brake drums in most cases will be less than the cost of having the drums turned, so don’t take the chance of overheating and warping the Buick Electra drums, purchase new brake drums when doing a brake job. We also recommend replacing the drums in pairs so the Buick Electra does not pull under severe braking conditions.

The Buick Electra brake shoes do need replacing about every 50K miles or so. When replacing the Buick Electra brake shoes be sure to check the hardware and the wheel cylinders for damage or leakage. This is also a good time to check the brake drums for scoring or unusual wear. The Buick Electra brake shoes come in a primary and a secondary shoe that needs to be replaced in the exact location that they were removed from.
Leaking Buick Electra wheel cylinders are the number one cause of brake system failures on Buick's equipped with rear drum brakes. The o-rings on the Buick Electra wheel cylinder pistons wear out over time and let the brake fluid seep thru to the outside of the cylinder. The wheel cylinder boot usually traps a small amount of fluid before it contaminates the entire rear brake assembly.
