What material is the friction surface made of?

These brake shoes use a semi-metallic friction compound. This type of material is known for offering a good balance between stopping power and durability for everyday driving.

Are these brake shoes ready to install out of the box?

Yes, these shoes are precision arc ground for a perfect fit inside the drum and are bonded or riveted to OE specifications. This means they are designed to be a direct replacement for your original parts.

What does the anti-rust paint on the backing plate do?

The high-temperature anti-rust black paint on the steel backing plates helps prevent corrosion. This keeps the backing plate in good condition and ensures a solid foundation for the friction material over time.

Product Details

The steel backing on these DFC brake shoes is dipped in high-temperature anti-rust black paint, helping to keep corrosion at bay and ensure a solid bond. This is important because the friction material is glued to the steel, and a strong connection means consistent braking performance over time. DFC tests these shoes in both the field and the lab to make sure they're reliable and will last.

You'll find that the friction material is bonded or riveted to the steel backing according to original equipment specifications, and the shoes themselves are precision arc ground. This means they're shaped just right to fit perfectly inside your brake drums, which helps with proper contact and reduces the chance of noise or uneven wear. They use a semi-metallic friction compound, which is a popular choice for its balance of stopping power and durability.
