Ruggedly Constructed High Strength Long Life And Durable Black Brake Drum - Iron And Rubber Composition, Circular Design For Enhanced Friction Braking

A brake drum is used to generate friction when you need to stop your car. Your car's brake drum is the most important part of your car's braking system. When you step on the brake pedal, it pushes the brake shoe against the drum and the friction of the brake shoe causes the drum to turn. This action is called friction braking. As the drum turns, it applies pressure to the brake shoe and slows your car down. A brake drum is a circular metal component attached to the wheel hub that contains a series of brake shoes that are pushed against the drum when you step on the brake pedal. The brake shoes are designed to create friction against the drum and the wheel hub to slow down or stop your car. Brake drums are used in most vehicles and can be purchased as a standalone component or as part of a brake drum and wheel assembly.
