Refresh your Subaru Forester rear drum brakes with the Dynamic Friction Company Brake Drum (P/N 365-13011), a direct-fit rear replacement for the 1998-2008 Subaru Forester and 1997-2002 Subaru Impreza. This drum mounts at the rear axle and houses the brake shoes; as the wheel turns, the shoes press outward against the drum's inner surface to create the friction that slows the vehicle.
Drum brakes wear gradually; signs the drum may need replacing include scoring on the friction surface, deep grooves, or an inner diameter worn past the service limit. For even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace the drum on both rear wheels together as a matched pair.
