Mopar Brake Drums

Why Do Cars Use Drum Brakes?

Drum brakes are not as common as disc brakes in modern vehicles, but they are still used in some cars. They are cost-effective, simple, have parking brake functionality, and are competent at heat dissipation.

Additionally, drum brakes tend to be less expensive to manufacture than disc brakes, and their simple design makes them easier to install and maintain. They are often integrated with parking brake systems and have self-adjusting mechanisms that compensate for wear over time.

Related Brake Components

1. Brake Calipers

   The brake calipers play a vital role in the functioning of the disc brake system. They work by compressing the brake pads against the rotor, which in turn reduces the speed of the wheel.

2. Brake Pads

   To slow down the vehicle, the brake pads exert pressure against the rotating brake rotors. These pads are available in two types: semi-metallic and ceramic.

3. Brake Rotors

   The brake rotors are rotating components that the brake pads clamp onto. They serve the important function of absorbing and dissipating the heat generated during the braking process, which aids in maintaining consistent performance and preventing brake fade.
