Another essential part of the drum brake system is the wheel cylinder. Located at the top of the brake assembly, it houses pistons that are activated when hydraulic pressure from the brake fluid is applied. The wheel cylinder pushes the brake shoes outward, creating friction against the drum. This hydraulic mechanism allows for smooth and powerful braking with minimal effort from the driver.

Finally, the backing plate serves as the foundation of the drum brake assembly, holding all the components in place. It is typically made from stamped steel and is designed to withstand the wear and tear from constant motion and friction.

Brake drums are circular metal components that serve as a friction element in drum brake systems. When the driver presses the brake pedal, brake shoes are extended against the inner surface of the drum, creating friction that slows down the vehicle. Heavy-duty brake drums are specifically engineered for larger vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trailers, where higher loads and brake stress are common. Made from durable materials, these drums are designed to resist warping, cracking, and wear, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

On average, the cost to replace rear drum brake shoes ranges from $150 to $300 per axle, which typically includes both parts and labor. However, this can go higher depending on the factors mentioned above. For example, if your vehicle requires additional parts, such as drums or wheel cylinders, the total can rise to $400 or more.

Une fois la roue retirée, vous verrez le tambour de frein. Pour le retirer, desserrez les vis qui le maintiennent en place. Dans certains cas, il peut être nécessaire de taper légèrement sur le tambour avec un maillet en caoutchouc pour le déloger. Assurez-vous qu'il n'y a pas de poussière de frein dans l'environnement de travail.

Bevor Sie die Bremstrommel entfernen, inspizieren Sie sie sorgfältig. Überprüfen Sie auf Risse, Verformungen oder andere Schäden. Wenn die Trommel stark beschädigt ist, sollte sie möglicherweise ersetzt werden.

부품 비용 외에도, 작업 비용도 고려해야 합니다. 전문가에게 맡길 경우 인건비가 추가로 발생하며, 이 비용도 위치와 작업의 복잡성에 따라 달라질 수 있습니다. 평균적으로 부품과 작업 비용을 합하면, 드럼 브레이크를 디스크 브레이크로 변환하는 데 약 500달러에서 1500달러 정도의 비용이 소요될 수 있습니다. 이 비용은 대체로 차량 가격의 작은 비율을 차지하므로, 성능 향상과 안전성을 고려했을 때 투자할 가치가 있습니다.

그러나 드럼 브레이크와 디스크 브레이크가 함께 구성된 하이브리드 시스템이 일반적입니다. 특히 대형 차량이나 고성능 차량에서는 전륜에 디스크 브레이크를 사용하고 뒷바퀴에는 드럼 브레이크를 사용하는 경우가 많습니다. 이런 형태는 제동력의 분배를 최적화하고 매끄러운 운전을 가능하게 합니다.
