Despite the popularity of disc brake applications today, you can't discount the usefulness and simplicity of a drum system. The brake drum system uses a drum and brake shoes to provide a stopping force to the wheels. The brake drum, attached to the wheel, houses the pistons and the brake shoes. Once you step on the brake pedal, the piston forces the shoes onto the spinning drum. The force slows down and eventually stops the drum and the wheel attached to it. And did you know that a drum brake system can also be applied to your vehicle as emergency brakes? The design of a drum brake system allows for a cable and a lever to separate the brake shoes from each other and force them onto the brake drum. You have to be careful, though, since brake drums tend to be more sensitive to heat. When your vehicle's brake drum becomes chipped or corroded, better replace it as soon as possible.
