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