GeoBrakes stocks complete parking brake shoe kits confirmed to fit the Infiniti Qx60 drum-in-hat rear parking brake system, combining OEM-grade parking brake shoes matched to the Qx60 drum diameter with the return springs, shoe strut, adjusting screw assembly, and retaining clips needed for a correct, fully functional parking brake service on your Infiniti Qx60. Replacing shoes without the hardware is the leading cause of parking brake failure after service on the Qx60 in American conditions.
A parking brake shoe kit for the Infiniti Qx60 restores complete parking brake function, not just the friction lining. The most common reason a freshly serviced Qx60 parking brake fails to hold on a hill is not worn shoes: it is a seized adjuster that prevents the shoe-to-drum clearance from being correctly set after installation on your Infiniti Qx60. In the enclosed drum-in-hat cavity of the Qx60, road salt and meltwater concentrate corrosion on the adjuster threads, the return springs, and the strut. A kit that includes every hardware component alongside the shoes is the only way to guarantee the Infiniti Qx60 parking brake performs correctly after service.
The kit for your Infiniti Qx60 includes parking brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining at the correct arc length and lining width for the Qx60 drum-in-hat diameter, return springs that retract both shoes cleanly after the Qx60 parking brake is released, hold-down hardware with springs and pins that locate the shoes while permitting actuation on your Infiniti Qx60, the parking brake strut connecting both shoes through the Qx60 mechanism, the adjusting screw assembly setting correct shoe-to-drum clearance for reliable holding force on your Infiniti Qx60, and retaining clips and washers securing the strut and adjuster in correct operating position on the Qx60.
The parking brake shoe adjuster on the Infiniti Qx60 sets the gap between the shoes and the inner drum surface of the Qx60 rotor hat. In American winters, the drum-in-hat cavity of the Qx60 traps road salt and moisture. The adjuster threads on your Infiniti Qx60 corrode and seize, sometimes within a single winter season. A seized adjuster on the Qx60 produces a parking brake that either drags against the drum when released or fails to hold the Infiniti Qx60 on a slope when engaged.
Parking brake shoe kits for the Infiniti Qx60 are among the most vehicle-specific brake components in the catalogue. The shoe arc length, lining width, spring rates, strut length, and adjuster thread specification for the Qx60 are all determined by the specific drum-in-hat diameter of the Infiniti Qx60 rotor. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Infiniti Qx60 exact year and model, with zinc-plated or coated hardware components to resist the concentrated corrosion inside the Qx60 drum-in-hat cavity.
How do I know if my Infiniti Qx60 uses parking brake shoes?
Infiniti Qx60 vehicles with four-wheel disc brakes often use a drum-in-hat parking brake requiring separate shoes. Some Qx60 variants instead use a caliper-actuated parking brake. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm your Infiniti Qx60 parking brake type and find the correct kit.
My Infiniti Qx60 parking brake light stays on after I release it, do the shoes need replacing?
A warning light that stays on after full release on the Infiniti Qx60 can indicate worn shoes, a faulty sensor, low brake fluid, or a stretched cable on the Qx60. If the Infiniti Qx60 fails to hold on a slope, a shoe kit replacement combined with cable and adjuster inspection is the recommended starting point for your Qx60.
Can I adjust the parking brake on my Infiniti Qx60 after installing a shoe kit without replacing the cable?
Yes, if the Qx60 cable is in good condition and within its adjustment range. After correct shoe installation and adjuster setting on the Infiniti Qx60, adjust the cable until the brake holds firmly within three to five clicks of Qx60 lever travel.
