Built for smooth, balanced rear braking, the Dynamic Friction Company True Balanced Brake Drum, part number 365-42009, is a rear brake drum that is precision cut and mill balanced to hold proper balance. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2009-2017 Jeep Compass, 2009-2017 Jeep Patriot and 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
The drum arrives new in the box and ready to install, with no modifications required. The drum is the rotating surface the rear brake shoes press against, and over time it can wear, score, crack or go out of round. A pulsating pedal, a grinding noise or a drum worn past its maximum diameter are signs it may need replacing. Replacing both rear drums together is recommended for even, balanced braking.
