What material are these brake shoes made from?

These brake shoes feature a semi-metallic friction material. This material is bonded or riveted to a new carbon steel shoe, following original equipment specifications.

Why are the brake shoes painted black?

The new carbon steel shoes are dipped in a high-temperature, anti-rust black paint. This coating helps prevent corrosion and maintain the appearance of the brake components.

What does 'precision arc ground' mean for these brake shoes?

Precision arc grinding means the brake shoes are shaped to perfectly match the curve of your brake drum. This ensures consistent contact between the shoe and drum for reliable braking performance right away.
