Mopar Brake Drums

Mopar Brake Drums | Frequently Asked Questions

What are brake drums?

Brake drums are cylindrical drum-shaped parts that rotate with the wheel. When the brake pedal is applied, brake shoes inside the drum are forced outward against the drum's interior surface. This action creates the friction needed to slow down and stop your Jeep.

How are brake drums different from brake discs?

Brake drums and brake discs are two different types of braking systems. Brake drums use brake shoes that press outward against the inside of the drum. Brake discs, on the other hand, use brake pads that clamp down on a rotor.

How often should brake drums be replaced?

How often you need to replace brake drums depends on your driving habits, vehicle type, and the quality of the parts. They should be inspected around every 15,000 miles and replaced every 50,000 to 70,000 miles. Refer to your vehicle's maintenance schedule for more details.
