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