Hyundai Accent Brake Drum Kit in US

A brake drum kit for the Hyundai Accent addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Accent drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Hyundai Accent. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Accent. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Hyundai Accent in a single order.

What Is Included in the Hyundai Accent Brake Drum Kit

The kit for your Hyundai Accent includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Accent for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Hyundai Accent drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Accent, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Hyundai Accent application.

Why American Conditions Make a Full Kit the Right Call for Your Hyundai Accent

Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Hyundai Accent drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Accent 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 Hyundai Accent. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Accent produces a service that underperforms within months.

Signs the Brake Drum Kit on Your Hyundai Accent Is Due

• Rear brake pulsation or grabbing on your Hyundai Accent during stops, out-of-round drum bore
• Grinding or scraping from the Accent rear axle with the parking brake fully released
• Accent drum inner surface scored or worn to maximum allowable diameter on inspection
• Friction lining at or below 1.5mm on your Hyundai Accent visible during drum removal
• Parking brake on your Accent requiring excessive travel before holding on a slope
• Hyundai Accent pulling to one side under braking, asymmetric drum or shoe condition

Why GeoBrakes for the Hyundai Accent Brake Drum Kit

Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Hyundai Accent. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Accent produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Hyundai Accent, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Accent.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hyundai Accent Brake Drum Kits

How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Hyundai Accent?

A basic kit for the Hyundai Accent 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 Accent overhaul, particularly on American Hyundai Accent vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.

Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Hyundai Accent at the same time?

Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Hyundai Accent as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Accent create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.

Can I install a brake drum kit on my Hyundai Accent myself?

Rear drum brake service on the Hyundai Accent is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Accent, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Hyundai Accent is essential.
