Chrysler Town Country Brake Drum Kit in US

A brake drum kit for the Chrysler Town Country addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Town Country drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Chrysler Town Country. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Town Country. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Chrysler Town Country in a single order.

What Is Included in the Chrysler Town Country Brake Drum Kit

The kit for your Chrysler Town Country includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Town Country for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Chrysler Town Country drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Town Country, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Chrysler Town Country application.

Why American Conditions Make a Full Kit the Right Call for Your Chrysler Town Country

Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Chrysler Town Country drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Town Country drum is worn, the shoes are typically at or near minimum thickness, the hardware is corroded, and the wheel cylinder boots are deteriorating on your Chrysler Town Country. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Town Country produces a service that underperforms within months.

Signs the Brake Drum Kit on Your Chrysler Town Country Is Due

• Rear brake pulsation or grabbing on your Chrysler Town Country during stops, out-of-round drum bore
• Grinding or scraping from the Town Country rear axle with the parking brake fully released
• Town Country drum inner surface scored or worn to maximum allowable diameter on inspection
• Friction lining at or below 1.5mm on your Chrysler Town Country visible during drum removal
• Parking brake on your Town Country requiring excessive travel before holding on a slope
• Chrysler Town Country pulling to one side under braking, asymmetric drum or shoe condition

Why GeoBrakes for the Chrysler Town Country Brake Drum Kit

Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Chrysler Town Country. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Town Country produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Chrysler Town Country, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Town Country.

Frequently Asked Questions - Chrysler Town Country Brake Drum Kits

How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Chrysler Town Country?

A basic kit for the Chrysler Town Country is appropriate when the wheel cylinders have been recently replaced and show no signs of leaking. A full-service kit is the stronger choice during a high-mileage Town Country overhaul, particularly on American Chrysler Town Country vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.

Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Chrysler Town Country at the same time?

Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Chrysler Town Country as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Town Country create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.

Can I install a brake drum kit on my Chrysler Town Country myself?

Rear drum brake service on the Chrysler Town Country is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Town Country, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Chrysler Town Country is essential.
