The Importance of Brake Drums and Shoes for Your Renault 18
Ensuring that your Renault 18's braking system is functioning correctly is crucial for your safety on the road. The brake drums and shoes are integral components of the braking system, especially in older models like the Renault 18 that may use a drum brake setup on the rear wheels. Over time, these parts can wear down and require replacement to maintain optimal braking performance.
Choosing the Right Brake Drums and Shoes for Your Renault 18
When selecting brake drums and shoes for your Renault 18, it's important to choose high-quality replacements that match the specifications of your vehicle. Properly fitting parts will ensure that your car's braking system operates smoothly and reliably. At our store, we offer a range of brake drums and shoes specifically designed for the Renault 18, providing you with the perfect fit and performance.
Signs of Worn Brake Drums and Shoes
If you notice any of the following signs, it may be time to check your Renault 18's brake drums and shoes:
- A decrease in braking efficiency
- Strange noises, such as grinding or squeaking, when braking
- A vibration or pulsation when applying the brakes
- The handbrake feels loose or ineffective
Ignoring these warning signs can lead to further damage to your braking system and potentially compromise your safety.

How do Drum Brakes Work?
Brake shoes push against the brake drum to slow down the rotation of the wheel, causing your car to stop. Because they endure so much friction, drum brakes and shoes can become heat damaged, which can have a negative impact on your braking system.
So, it's important you repair and maintain them to keep your brakes in check. A brake shoe set consists of a primary brake shoe, which is larger, and secondary brake shoes, which are smaller.
Difference Between Drum Brakes and Disc Brakes?
Drum brakes use an expanding hydraulic cylinder to press against the inside of a rotating drum whereas a disc brake uses a calliper to hold the friction brake pads against the brake disc.
Why are Drum Brakes still on Modern Cars?
Drum brakes still exist on modern cars due to the low cost of manufacturing and the less complexity of the design. They are less expensive to produce due to the fact they need fewer parts than disc brakes. They tend to be only on the rear wheels and can function as a service brake and hand brake.
Auto manufacturers continue to use rear drum brakes for two main reasons – lower cost and less complexity. Drum brakes are less expensive to produce because they require fewer parts than disc brakes. Unlike disc brakes, drum brakes can function as both a service brake and a parking brake.
