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