The brake drum on the Cadillac Cimarron is the rotating cast-iron bowl that the Cimarron drum brake shoes press against to slow your vehicle. Mounted to the rear axle hub of your Cadillac Cimarron, it spins with the wheel and provides the friction surface that the shoes contact under braking. Unlike brake rotors, which can be visually inspected from outside the wheel on many Cimarron vehicles, Cadillac Cimarron brake drums fully enclose the shoe assembly, which means wear and damage often goes unnoticed until braking performance on the Cadillac Cimarron is noticeably affected.
Standard OEM-Grade Drums for the Cadillac Cimarron
Standard OEM-grade cast-iron drums for the Cadillac Cimarron are manufactured to the original equipment diameter, wall thickness, and surface finish specification for your Cimarron. They are the direct replacement for the factory Cimarron drum with no modification required.
Coated Brake Drums for the Cadillac Cimarron
Coated Cadillac Cimarron brake drums feature a corrosion-resistant coating applied to the external drum surfaces of your Cimarron, the hat section, outer wall, and wheel mounting face. Surface rust is a common issue on Cadillac Cimarron drum brake vehicles in US, particularly during periods of non-use in winter when moisture and salt collect inside the Cimarron wheel well. A coated drum on your Cadillac Cimarron resists surface rust that can transfer to the wheel mounting face, making future drum removal significantly easier at the next Cimarron brake service.
Cadillac Cimarron brake drum replacement requires matching the correct inner diameter, wall thickness, bolt circle, hub bore, and drum offset for your Cimarron. Errors in any of these dimensions produce incorrect shoe-to-drum clearance, uneven wear, and braking problems on the Cadillac Cimarron. Our vehicle selector eliminates those risks by confirming the correct drum for the Cadillac Cimarron exact year, make, model, and axle. Coated Cimarron drum options are available for vehicles with heavy salt exposure.
How long do brake drums last on a Cadillac Cimarron?
Cadillac Cimarron brake drums typically last 150,000 to 200,000 kilometres with periodic resurfacing, significantly longer than disc brake rotors on the Cimarron. Each resurfacing removes material from the Cimarron drum and reduces wall thickness. Once the Cadillac Cimarron drum reaches its maximum allowable inner diameter, it must be replaced rather than turned again.
Should I replace brake drums on my Cadillac Cimarron in pairs?
Yes. Replace both Cadillac Cimarron drums on the same axle to maintain balanced braking. Drums of different inner diameters on the Cimarron create uneven friction forces, causing the Cadillac Cimarron to pull to the fresher-drum side during braking.
Should I replace drums and shoes at the same time on my Cadillac Cimarron?
Yes, it is strongly recommended for the Cadillac Cimarron. New shoes on a scored or out-of-round Cimarron drum wear unevenly from day one. New Cadillac Cimarron drums with old shoes that have worn to match the old drum surface will contact the new bore incorrectly. Replacing both together on the Cimarron ensures proper break-in and maximum service life from both components.
