Nissan Cube Brake Drum Kit in US

A brake drum kit for the Nissan Cube addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Cube drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Nissan Cube. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Cube. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Nissan Cube in a single order.

What Is Included in the Nissan Cube Brake Drum Kit

The kit for your Nissan Cube includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Cube for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Nissan Cube drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Cube, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Nissan Cube application.

Why American Conditions Make a Full Kit the Right Call for Your Nissan Cube

Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Nissan Cube drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Cube drum is worn, the shoes are typically at or near minimum thickness, the hardware is corroded, and the wheel cylinder boots are deteriorating on your Nissan Cube. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Cube produces a service that underperforms within months.

Signs the Brake Drum Kit on Your Nissan Cube Is Due

• Rear brake pulsation or grabbing on your Nissan Cube during stops, out-of-round drum bore
• Grinding or scraping from the Cube rear axle with the parking brake fully released
• Cube drum inner surface scored or worn to maximum allowable diameter on inspection
• Friction lining at or below 1.5mm on your Nissan Cube visible during drum removal
• Parking brake on your Cube requiring excessive travel before holding on a slope
• Nissan Cube pulling to one side under braking, asymmetric drum or shoe condition

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Cube Brake Drum Kit

Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Nissan Cube. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Cube produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Nissan Cube, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Cube.

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Cube Brake Drum Kits

How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Nissan Cube?

A basic kit for the Nissan Cube is appropriate when the wheel cylinders have been recently replaced and show no signs of leaking. A full-service kit is the stronger choice during a high-mileage Cube overhaul, particularly on American Nissan Cube vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.

Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Nissan Cube at the same time?

Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Nissan Cube as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Cube create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.

Can I install a brake drum kit on my Nissan Cube myself?

Rear drum brake service on the Nissan Cube is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Cube, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Nissan Cube is essential.
