What is a Brake Shoe?
- Brake shoes carry the brake lining inside brake drum systems. They are a curved piece of metal, with a friction material fixed to one side.
- When the brake is applied, a wheel cylinder in the drum brake system forces the brake shoe outward, against the inside of the drum
Differences Between Brake Shoes & Brake Pads
- Positioning - Being positioned differently in their braking system, Brake pads are placed inside a caliper which surrounds the brake disc and brake shoes are placed inside the brake drum.
- Wear- Brake shoes typically last much longer than brake pads, Usually they take a much lower proportion of the braking work
Brake Shoe Safety
Why do Brake Shoes Fail?
- Normal wear & tear caused by friction
- Contamination of brake shoe friction material. This happens when an axle seal leaks gear oil into the drum area.
Symptoms of Brake Shoe Failure?
- Dark friction areas
- Burnt odor
- Loud squeaking or grinding noises
Brake Pad Type Comparison
Organic
Organic Pads are composed of various fibers mixed with binding resins to hold them together. Some common materials used in organic brake pads include glass, fiber, rubber, carbon and Kevlar.
Semi Metallic
Semi Metallic Pads are the most versatile style available, with the slight compromise being more noise and dust. They are also longer lasting and more durable, and their metallic composition can help draw heat away from the rotor and aid in more efficient brake cooling.
Ceramic
Ceramic Pads are composed of a dense ceramic material with embedded copper fibers. In use since the 1980s, ceramic pads were developed as an alternative replacement for organic and semi-metallic brake pads. Ceramic pads are generally easier on rotors than semi-metallic pads.

The springs on the front brake shoe are incorrect and are too wide. You can see in the product images, the front shoe's springs are Oval shaped.This causes a squeak / metal screech noise as the front wheel rotates. The wider front springs rub against the front hub's bearing housing. Rear shoe does not have this issue and works fine.The brakes appear to work well other than that. But beware, you must reuse the oem springs for the front brake shoe.

Easy to install and already have the little springs, which makes the installation much easier. The most difficult part of replacing brake shoes is moving the old springs over, and these don’t require you to do that.Can’t comment on performance or longevity yet.
