Regular inspection and maintenance of brake shoes and drums are essential to ensure optimal performance. Over time, the friction material on brake shoes can wear down; the drums can become scored or distorted due to excessive heat or wear. Both scenarios can compromise the effectiveness of the braking system, making it crucial for fleet operators to adhere to routine maintenance schedules.

A typical drum brake line diagram illustrates several key components the brake drum, brake shoes, wheel cylinder, and the hardware kit, which includes springs and levers. The brake drum is a cylindrical component that rotates with the wheel. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic pressure is generated in the brake line, pushing the piston in the wheel cylinder. This action causes the brake shoes to expand outward against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction that slows down or stops the vehicle.
