Brake Drums

Keep Your Brakes Safe with Quality Brake Drums

At Greenville Nissan, we recognize the significance of maintaining your brake drums in excellent condition. Brake drums work with your brake shoes to create stopping force through friction. These components withstand intense heat and pressure during normal driving conditions. Our certified technicians identify early warning signs before brake performance becomes compromised.

Detecting Brake Drum Problems

Brake drums typically need attention between 50,000 and 70,000 miles, depending on driving habits. Warning signs include grinding noises, pedal vibration, and reduced stopping power. The brake pads may show uneven wear when drums become warped. Regular inspections prevent costly repairs and maintain safety.

Choose Genuine Nissan Parts

Vehicles like the Altima and Rogue require precisely engineered brake components. Generic aftermarket drums often use inferior materials that wear quickly. Genuine Nissan brake drums maintain exact specifications for proper clearance. Factory-grade materials resist scoring and warping better than budget alternatives.

Professional Installation Requirements

Proper installation includes cleaning mounting surfaces and adjusting brake shoe contact. Break-in periods require gentle braking for 200 miles. Regular maintenance involves checking hardware, cleaning assemblies, and monitoring fluid levels. Following these guidelines ensures maximum service life.
