Drums built to pair with FTC shoes and lining.
- Heat resistance
- Precision fit
- Corrosion protection
- 1 year or 70,000 km warranty
Short answer
FTC brake drums are designed for heat resistance, precision fit and corrosion protection, and are intended to work with FTC brake shoes and lining as a matched drum-brake system.
What brake drums do
A brake drum is the rotating housing that shoes expand into. Friction between the shoe lining and the drum's inner surface slows the wheel. Drum brakes are common on the rear axle of many passenger cars and on heavy vehicles.
Drum and lining wear together, so servicing them as a set keeps braking even and predictable.
For detailed specifications and vehicle fitment, use the part finder to search by vehicle, or ask our team.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Should I replace the drum when I replace shoes?
Yes, replace a worn or damaged brake drum when you fit new shoes. Check the drum's inner surface and diameter at every shoe change so the new shoes bed in properly.
Where can I find drum specifications?
For detailed brake drum specifications, contact the FTC team with your vehicle details, or use the part search in the FTC online store.
Not sure it fits your vehicle?
Search by make, model and year in the FTC part finder, or shop the full FTC range in the online store.
