Functionality: This emergency brake shoe is specifically designed to be part of a 10" (diameter) and 3" (wide) driveshaft-mounted (DCM) S series brake system (usually acts on the rear drum brakes). It will efficiently stop the vehicle if the main hydraulic brakes fail. It is not for stopping vehicles at high speeds.
Robust Construction: This brake shoe is made of durable metal equipped with friction lining material—called a lined brake shoe. Thus, make it ready to install.
Replacement Guidelines: It's necessary to change brake parts after frequent intervals. But if you encounter other signs (check below) in the rear brake shoes, then replace them immediately.
Inspect at least once a year or after every 12,000 miles.
Squealing or grinding noises when braking, especially at low speeds.
Burning smell or visible smoke due to overheated brake components.
Visible damage like uneven wear, cracked or sored drums.
If the friction material is worn down to 1.6 mm or less.
Never just replace one wheel's set but both rear shoes simultaneously.
Change the springs and hardware with the shoes (as these lose tension over time and can cause dragging or uneven wear).
Regularly check/replace the driveshaft-mounted drum if damaged.
