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