A brake drum kit for the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Custom Cruiser drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Custom Cruiser. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser in a single order.
The kit for your Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Custom Cruiser for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Custom Cruiser, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser application.
Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Custom Cruiser 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 Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Custom Cruiser produces a service that underperforms within months.
Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Custom Cruiser produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Custom Cruiser.
How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser?
A basic kit for the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser 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 Custom Cruiser overhaul, particularly on American Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.
Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser at the same time?
Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Custom Cruiser create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.
Can I install a brake drum kit on my Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser myself?
Rear drum brake service on the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Custom Cruiser, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser is essential.
