Brake Drums Information

New Brake Drums
If you have worn the brake shoes down to metal, and scored the rear drums, you will need to replace the rear brake drums. The other times you will need to replace the rear drums are if the wheel cylinders leak causing large amounts of brake fluid to get on the drums. It is also possible to have the brake drums serviced and turned past minimum specifications.

You may notice that the brake pedal has a slight pulsation up and down when lightly braking. If this is happening the rear brake drums are warped and in need of replacement. The cost of new 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 drums, purchase new brake drums when doing a brake job. We also recommend replacing the drums in pairs so the car or truck does not pull under severe braking conditions.
