A: The brake drum in an IVECO vehicle works with the brake shoes to create friction, slowing or stopping the wheels. It absorbs heat generated during braking and ensures consistent performance under heavy loads.
A: Inspect the drum brake drum every 25,000–30,000 miles or during routine maintenance. Look for cracks, wear, or scoring, and replace it if thickness exceeds the manufacturer’s wear limit.
A: IVECO brake drums are designed for specific brake shoe models. Always use OEM-recommended brake shoes to ensure proper fitment, friction efficiency, and safety compliance.
A: Premature wear is often due to overheating, aggressive braking, or contamination (e.g., oil or dirt). Proper lubrication of components and avoiding overloading can extend their lifespan.
A: Resurfacing is possible if the drum’s thickness remains within the manufacturer’s tolerance. Severe scoring or cracks require immediate replacement to prevent brake failure.
