Brake System Maintenance: Matching Pads with Drums

Brake System Maintenance: Matching Pads with Drums

Heavy trucks put far more load on brakes than passenger cars. Mismatched friction material accelerates drum wear or loses stopping power.

Three matching rules

  • Same brand and batch on both sides of one axle.
  • Inspect drum inner diameter and out-of-round when replacing pads.
  • Choose friction grade by load and route; mountain heavy hauls need high-temperature formulas.

We supply brake parts matched by OEM data to reduce rework.
