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