OEM INFINITI Brake Drums

The brake drums in your INFINITI are part of the overall drum brake system that's responsible for slowing, and eventually stopping, your car or SUV. The system as a whole is made up of the brake drum, brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and hardware.

How Brake Drums Work

What brake drums do is simple. First, you press the sole of your foot against the brake pedal. The master brake cylinder responds by sending hydraulic brake fluid through brake lines and brake hoses. The building pressure from that fluid forces the brake shoe to fasten to the brake drum, which creates the friction that slows the rotation of your wheels.

Drum brakes may look simple, but they're far more complex due to the amount of hardware and moving parts. Drum brakes are designed with a pan-shaped drum and a pair of curved shoes that expand internally and drag on the drum's lining. They feature a brake cylinder with a pushrod at each end, return springs, an adjusting wheel, clips, and other hardware components. When you're replacing your brake drums, it's a good idea to replace all the hardware in case the other parts are compromised by metal fatigue.
