Drum Compatibility

To ensure optimum braking, drums should always be replaced as a set on an axle and with compatible components. Brake compatibility means that each brake on each wheel will perform equally, doing its fair share of the work, to effectively produce a balanced and controlled stop. Proper matching of brake assemblies will result in:

  • Maximum stopping performance
  • Longer service life between overhauls
  • Lower maintenance costs

Brake Drum Inspection

Keeping your vehicle and its brakes in optimal working condition is important for any truck or trailer driver. It’s always best to be prepared. Check out our Vehicle Inspection Cheat Sheet; it includes everything you need to know when it comes to prepping for inspections.
