Brake Pad
Brand : AKEBONO
Country Of Origin : Japan
A brake pad is a flat piece of steel which lies between the rotor and the caliper to reduce the level of friction from metal on metal. Over time, the pads need replacing. When a driver applies the brakes, they may hear a screeching sound, or the vehicle pulls to one sign. These are indications that the pads are worn.
Brake Shoe
Brand : AKEBONO
Country Of Origin : Japan
A brake shoe is the part of a braking system that carries the brake lining in the drum brake used on automobiles. They are curved piece of metal, with a friction material fixed to one side. When the driver applies the brake, a wheel cylinder in the drum brake system forces the brake shoe outward, against the inside of the drum. This creates friction between the lining and drum, causing the car to brake. The kinetic energy is dissipated as heat.
