A brake drum kit for the Dodge Aries addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Aries drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Dodge Aries. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Aries. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Dodge Aries in a single order.
The kit for your Dodge Aries includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Aries for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Dodge Aries drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Aries, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Dodge Aries application.
Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Dodge Aries drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Aries 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 Dodge Aries. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Aries produces a service that underperforms within months.
Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Dodge Aries. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Aries produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Dodge Aries, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Aries.
How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Dodge Aries?
A basic kit for the Dodge Aries 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 Aries overhaul, particularly on American Dodge Aries vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.
Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Dodge Aries at the same time?
Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Dodge Aries as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Aries create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.
Can I install a brake drum kit on my Dodge Aries myself?
Rear drum brake service on the Dodge Aries is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Aries, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Dodge Aries is essential.
