GeoBrakes stocks complete parking brake shoe kits confirmed to fit the Chrysler Voyager drum-in-hat rear parking brake system, combining OEM-grade parking brake shoes matched to the Voyager drum diameter with the return springs, shoe strut, adjusting screw assembly, and retaining clips needed for a correct, fully functional parking brake service on your Chrysler Voyager. Replacing shoes without the hardware is the leading cause of parking brake failure after service on the Voyager in American conditions.
A parking brake shoe kit for the Chrysler Voyager restores complete parking brake function, not just the friction lining. The most common reason a freshly serviced Voyager parking brake fails to hold on a hill is not worn shoes: it is a seized adjuster that prevents the shoe-to-drum clearance from being correctly set after installation on your Chrysler Voyager. In the enclosed drum-in-hat cavity of the Voyager, road salt and meltwater concentrate corrosion on the adjuster threads, the return springs, and the strut. A kit that includes every hardware component alongside the shoes is the only way to guarantee the Chrysler Voyager parking brake performs correctly after service.
The kit for your Chrysler Voyager includes parking brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining at the correct arc length and lining width for the Voyager drum-in-hat diameter, return springs that retract both shoes cleanly after the Voyager parking brake is released, hold-down hardware with springs and pins that locate the shoes while permitting actuation on your Chrysler Voyager, the parking brake strut connecting both shoes through the Voyager mechanism, the adjusting screw assembly setting correct shoe-to-drum clearance for reliable holding force on your Chrysler Voyager, and retaining clips and washers securing the strut and adjuster in correct operating position on the Voyager.
The parking brake shoe adjuster on the Chrysler Voyager sets the gap between the shoes and the inner drum surface of the Voyager rotor hat. In American winters, the drum-in-hat cavity of the Voyager traps road salt and moisture. The adjuster threads on your Chrysler Voyager corrode and seize, sometimes within a single winter season. A seized adjuster on the Voyager produces a parking brake that either drags against the drum when released or fails to hold the Chrysler Voyager on a slope when engaged.
Parking brake shoe kits for the Chrysler Voyager are among the most vehicle-specific brake components in the catalogue. The shoe arc length, lining width, spring rates, strut length, and adjuster thread specification for the Voyager are all determined by the specific drum-in-hat diameter of the Chrysler Voyager rotor. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Chrysler Voyager exact year and model, with zinc-plated or coated hardware components to resist the concentrated corrosion inside the Voyager drum-in-hat cavity.
How do I know if my Chrysler Voyager uses parking brake shoes?
Chrysler Voyager vehicles with four-wheel disc brakes often use a drum-in-hat parking brake requiring separate shoes. Some Voyager variants instead use a caliper-actuated parking brake. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm your Chrysler Voyager parking brake type and find the correct kit.
My Chrysler Voyager parking brake light stays on after I release it, do the shoes need replacing?
A warning light that stays on after full release on the Chrysler Voyager can indicate worn shoes, a faulty sensor, low brake fluid, or a stretched cable on the Voyager. If the Chrysler Voyager fails to hold on a slope, a shoe kit replacement combined with cable and adjuster inspection is the recommended starting point for your Voyager.
Can I adjust the parking brake on my Chrysler Voyager after installing a shoe kit without replacing the cable?
Yes, if the Voyager cable is in good condition and within its adjustment range. After correct shoe installation and adjuster setting on the Chrysler Voyager, adjust the cable until the brake holds firmly within three to five clicks of Voyager lever travel.
