Essential Brake Drums and Shoes for Your Volvo 740

Maintaining the braking system of your Volvo 740 is crucial for ensuring a safe driving experience. Among the key components of this system are the brake drums and shoes, which play a vital role in bringing your vehicle to a stop, especially in older models that use drum brakes at the rear. It's important to regularly check these parts for wear and tear to keep your Volvo 740 running smoothly and safely.

High-Quality Volvo 740 Brake Drums

The brake drum is a critical part of your Volvo 740's braking system. It is where the friction is generated to slow down the wheel. Over time, brake drums can become worn out or damaged, which can lead to decreased braking efficiency or even brake failure. Ensuring that your Volvo 740 has high-quality brake drums is essential for maintaining optimal braking performance.

Durable Brake Shoes for Your Volvo 740

Brake shoes are the components that press against the inside of the brake drum to cause friction and slow down your car. They are an integral part of the drum brake system, and like the brake drums, they also wear out over time. When replacing brake shoes, it is important to choose durable and reliable replacements that are compatible with your Volvo 740 to ensure long-lasting performance and safety.

Find the Right Parts in the Braking Category

Finding the right braking components for your Volvo 740 doesn't have to be a challenge.

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.
