Nissan Micra Brake Drum Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Nissan Micra Brake Drum Kit

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

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

Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Nissan Micra drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Micra 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 Micra. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Micra produces a service that underperforms within months.

Signs the Brake Drum Kit on Your Nissan Micra Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Micra Brake Drum Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Micra Brake Drum Kits

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

A basic kit for the Nissan Micra 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 Micra overhaul, particularly on American Nissan Micra vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.

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

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

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

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