What material is used for the friction surface on these brake shoes?

These brake shoes use a semi-metallic friction material. This material is bonded or riveted to the steel shoe according to original equipment specifications for reliable performance.

Are these brake shoes coated to prevent rust?

Yes, the steel backing plates are dipped with a high-temperature, anti-rust black paint. This coating helps protect the shoes from corrosion and ensures long-lasting performance.

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

Precision arc grinding means the curved surface of the brake shoe matches the contour of the brake drum very closely. This ensures a perfect shoe-to-drum fit, leading to consistent braking performance right away without a long break-in period.
