The drum brake shoe is the curved, friction-lined component that presses outward against the inside of the brake drum to generate the friction that slows the wheel. Reduced braking response, squealing, or grinding from a drum can be signs the shoes may need replacing; if worn shoes are the cause, this drops in as the direct replacement. Brake shoes are best replaced as matched axle sets — service both sides together for even, balanced braking. California Proposition 65 WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm. Country of origin: China. Manufacturer part number: Bendix 154.
