OEM VW and Saab Brake Shoes

What Happens If My Car's Brake Shoes Go Bad?

When brake shoes get worn, they can cause a lot of problems, such as brakes that don't work as well, noises like grinding or screeching, damage to the brake drum or rotor, loss of brake functionality, and overheating brakes. Problems like these can make the car take longer to stop, put you and other people in danger, and cause damage to the brake system. If the shoes break apart or come off of their backing plate, the brake pedal might feel soft or not work at all. Address worn brake shoes promptly to maintain safe braking performance and prevent further damage.

1. Brake Calipers

   Hydraulic brake calipers squeeze the brake pads against the rotors to create friction that accelerates or decelerates the vehicle.

2. Brake Rotors

   These metal discs attached to the wheel hub revolve around the wheel. Friction from brake pads clamping on brake rotors slows the vehicle. Brake rotors absorb braking heat and provide a smooth, level surface for brake pads.
