Drum Brakes

Drum brakes are not as common today as disc brakes because they generally are not as effective as disc brakes. However, many vehicles have drum brakes in the rear tires because they are much cheaper to manufacture. However, drum brakes require more parts, so they may require more extensive repairs. Drum brakes are attached to your tires and have brake pads on either sides that are pushed out by the drum when brake fluid flows through the brake line using a piston-cylinder device.
