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