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