Brake shoes carry the brake lining inside brake drum systems. They are curved pieces 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 stop. Brake shoes are often used for the rear axle, especially as most modern cars brake more sharply on their front wheels. Drum brake systems can be more effective as a parking brake than disc brakes., OEM ReferencesACURA 43154STKA01HONDA 43053S9AE50, 43053S9AE51, 43053S9AE52, 43053S9AE53, 43053SWW000, 43053SWW010, 43154SWA003
