When the brake pedal is applied, the brake shoe is forced outwards towards the inner surface of the Brake Drum, to impede the vehicle's speed. Excessive application of the brake can lead to a reduction on the braking performance. Other causes of reduced braking with a brake drum set up can be the following:Excessive heat build up thru heavy or repeated braking. Water or moisture on the brake shoe or inner brake drum.Normal wear and tear of the brake shoe surface or the brake drum.Contaminated or old brake fluid. As reduction can be gradual over time, it is important that brake shoes and drums are checked regularly, as part of a normal service. Anytime you need greater force to slow or stop your vehicle or you feel a vibration under braking, an inspection of the above brake items, should be undertaken to avoid complete brake failure.
