A brake drum kit for the Gmc S15 addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn S15 drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Gmc S15. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your S15. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Gmc S15 in a single order.
The kit for your Gmc S15 includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the S15 for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Gmc S15 drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the S15, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Gmc S15 application.
Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Gmc S15 drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a S15 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 Gmc S15. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the S15 produces a service that underperforms within months.
Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Gmc S15. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the S15 produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Gmc S15, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the S15.
How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Gmc S15?
A basic kit for the Gmc S15 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 S15 overhaul, particularly on American Gmc S15 vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.
Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Gmc S15 at the same time?
Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Gmc S15 as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the S15 create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.
Can I install a brake drum kit on my Gmc S15 myself?
Rear drum brake service on the Gmc S15 is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the S15, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Gmc S15 is essential.
