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