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