Brake Drum Replacement Service, Cost, and Part Information

Many components work in synergy to power the braking system in your car. The brake drum is one such component. A smooth metal cylindrical housing, this drum is attached to the hub of the rear wheel. While newer cars have rotors on all four wheels, older models may come with drums and not rotors at the rear wheels.

Your car slows or stops when friction occurs between the brake shoes and drums. As occurs with many other car parts, brake drums can wear out after extended periods of use, in which case their ability to dissipate the heat generated by the braking system becomes severely poor.

Note:

– Brake drums reduce in size as they wear out. This indicator often helps in determining when a replacement is needed.
– When faulty, brake drums can also cause brake shoe damage
– Damaged brake drums can only be replaced and not repaired
– It is advisable to replace both brake drums, even if only one is faulty.

Consider Replacing Your Brake Drums When:

Braking causes the back of the car to shake
Handbrake holds poorly
Car pulls awkwardly when brakes are applied
The rear brakes generate unusual noise

Why Is Brake Drum Service Important For Your Car?

The brake drums rub against the shoes to slow down your car when the brake pedal is applied. Damaged brake drums make braking inefficient and slow. Hence changing your brake drum when the need arises ensures the brake system operates optimally and also keeps you safe during an emergency or when driving tricky terrains.

How It’s Done

– Determine brake drum thickness and remove them if they run lower than specifications.
– Inspect brake springs, wheel cylinder, clips and adjustment parts
– Lubricate the backing plate
– Test drive vehicle to ensure brake system works perfectly.

Recommendation:

Seek professional help when you notice clear fluid dripping from underneath your car. This is important as chances are high that you may have a leaking brake fluid which can hinder brake performance and cause brake failure if left unattended.

Great Service Great prices. I got a quote from 4 different mechanic shop and these guys had the best price. I was a little skeptical because I have never used mobile mechanic service before, but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a go. The mechanic they sent was very knowledgeable and give me tips on how to better maintain my vehicle. Will definitely being using them forever

Love this service. Fast and Simple. My car wasn't starting and I had called Uchanics to figure out the reason why. The mechanic came to do a diagnostic and found out that it was the car starter. After he went to pick up the part and fixed it the same day. Great service and very nice people!

They are very responsive and helpful. I sent in a request at 2PM today for a car inspection service within 5 hrs - they were very accommodating and were able to schedule a mechanic for me. Raymond arrived at my location on time and he was very friendly and thorough. He walked me through everything that he checked step by step and even taught me how to check some parts myself. They sent in a complete report to me within 2 hours and called to make sure everything went well after. Great and professional services, also very convenient! would definitely recommend

Really great concept and great service - my mechanic was friendly, knowledgeable, and very experienced. I was especially impressed with the savings that were passed on from not having the overhead of a garage. Highly recommend.

I got a PPI inspection for a car I wanted to purchase. Book and inspection was done in a coordinated way. Billing was comfortable. Report was provided same day, Jamal called me and give me advise and further information on the condition of the car. Sound and balanced advice. They work for you. If you are buying a car, get it inspected by them. I would recommend.

This is truly an excellent service and very cost-effective. I got a PPI inspection done and got a detailed report that noted even minor issues, a useful phone call from the team to help understand what the report meant and some additional tips too! The entire process was hassle-free and completed as scheduled.

These guys are pro. I found them through google and wanted a second opinion on a car from a private seller that I was buying. I literally have 0 knowledge about mechanic so having someone examining the car and giving me their opinion as key. Im glad to say that the examination was so through that even my seller was impressed by uchanics. 100% recommended, they even called me and gave me further advice regarding pricing and negotiations to bring the price to a fair deal
