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