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