Brake Shoe Replacement In 3 Easy Steps

What’s Included With Our Brake Shoe Replacement Service?

Our brake shoe replacement service will include removing your existing worn-out brake shoes with brand-new brake shoes.

The brake drums will be inspected to ensure they are in proper working order.  If the brake drums are in operating condition, they do not need to be replaced during a brake shoe service.

All other brake components will be inspected during the installation process.

When To Replace Brake Shoes

Brake shoes are a component of the drum brake system found on some older vehicles. Here are some common signs that brake shoes may need to be replaced:

• Squeaking or squealing noise: A high-pitched squeaking or squealing noise when you apply the brakes can be a sign that the brake shoes are worn down and need to be replaced.

• Reduced braking power: If the vehicle is taking longer to stop than it used to or the brakes feel weaker, it could be a sign of worn brake shoes.

• Grinding noise: A grinding or scraping noise when you apply the brakes can be a sign that the brake shoes are worn down completely and are now damaging the brake drums. This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention.

• Vibrations: If you feel vibrations in the brake pedal or steering wheel when you apply the brakes, it could be a sign of worn brake shoes. This can be caused by uneven wear or a misaligned brake shoe.

• Pulling to one side: If the vehicle pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it could be a sign of a misaligned brake shoe or a seized wheel cylinder.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to have your braking system inspected by a professional mechanic. Worn or damaged brake shoes can compromise your safety and the safety of others on the road, so it’s best to address the issue as soon as possible. Note that many modern vehicles use disc brakes, not drum brakes, so brake shoes are not a component that needs to be replaced on these vehicles.
