Nissan Versa Drum Brake and Hub Assembly Kit in US

On Nissan Versa vehicles with an integrated drum-hub casting, a corner brake service involves more than shoes and hardware. The drum surface, hub bearing geometry, and wheel studs on the Versa all require assessment simultaneously. A drum and hub assembly kit for the Nissan Versa removes the complexity of that assessment by delivering every service component in a single matched package. No separate drum sourcing, no hub compatibility verification - the kit arrives with every component confirmed for the Nissan Versa and ready to install.

What Is Included in the Nissan Versa Drum Brake and Hub Assembly Kit

The kit for your Nissan Versa includes the integrated drum-hub casting at OEM specification for the Versa with wheel studs pre-installed, drum brake shoes with friction lining matched to the Versa drum bore diameter and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, self-adjusters, and retaining clips specific to the Versa, a wheel cylinder in full-service kit configurations for your Nissan Versa, and bearing components where the bearing is separate from the hub assembly on specific Nissan Versa applications.

Why a Full Kit Produces a Better Result on the Nissan Versa

When a drum-hub assembly on the Nissan Versa reaches the point of replacement, the brake shoes, hardware, and wheel cylinder on that corner have experienced the same service history, same mileage, same salt exposure, same thermal cycling on your Versa. A kit that replaces every component simultaneously eliminates the most common cause of repeat repairs on the Nissan Versa: a new assembly installed against old, glazed shoes that cannot bed in correctly on the Versa.

Signs the Drum Brake and Hub Assembly Kit on Your Nissan Versa Is Due

• Versa drum surface scored, cracked, or worn beyond maximum inner diameter on inspection
• Wheel bearing noise from the Nissan Versa rear axle that changes with speed or load
• Damaged or stripped wheel studs on the Versa requiring hub replacement alongside drum service
• Brake shoes on your Nissan Versa at minimum friction lining thickness during inspection
• Wheel cylinder showing brake fluid leakage inside the Versa drum
• Rear brake pulsation or uneven braking force on the affected axle of your Nissan Versa

Why GeoBrakes for the Nissan Versa Drum Brake and Hub Assembly Kit

Drum-hub assemblies for the Nissan Versa are highly vehicle-specific. Bolt pattern, hub bore, drum diameter, stud specification, and bearing interface on the Versa vary significantly across applications. A generic or mismatched assembly introduces dimensional errors that affect shoe contact geometry and wheel bearing preload on your Nissan Versa. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct kit for the Nissan Versa axle position before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Nissan Versa Drum Brake and Hub Assembly Kits

Can I replace just the drum without the hub assembly on my Nissan Versa?

On Nissan Versa vehicles using an integrated drum-hub casting, the drum and hub are a single unit that cannot be separated without machining. When the Versa drum surface is worn, the complete assembly requires replacement. A kit ensures all supporting components for your Nissan Versa are renewed at the same time.

Should I replace drum and hub assembly kits on both rear wheels of my Nissan Versa?

Yes. Replacing as an axle pair on the Nissan Versa ensures balanced braking, even drum wear, and consistent vehicle behaviour. Both assemblies on the Versa have operated under identical service conditions and are at comparable stages of wear.

Does the kit include everything needed for the complete Nissan Versa service?

Full-service kits for the Nissan Versa include the drum-hub assembly, shoes, hardware, and wheel cylinder. Depending on your Versa, you may also need brake fluid and fresh line hardware if existing fittings are corroded.
