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