A parking brake shoe kit for the Pontiac Grand Prix restores complete parking brake function, not just the friction lining. The most common reason a freshly serviced Grand Prix parking brake fails to hold on a hill is not worn shoes: it is a seized adjuster that prevents the shoe-to-drum clearance from being correctly set after installation on your Pontiac Grand Prix. In the enclosed drum-in-hat cavity of the Grand Prix, road salt and meltwater concentrate corrosion on the adjuster threads, the return springs, and the strut. A kit that includes every hardware component alongside the shoes is the only way to guarantee the Pontiac Grand Prix parking brake performs correctly after service.
The kit for your Pontiac Grand Prix includes parking brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining at the correct arc length and lining width for the Grand Prix drum-in-hat diameter, return springs that retract both shoes cleanly after the Grand Prix parking brake is released, hold-down hardware with springs and pins that locate the shoes while permitting actuation on your Pontiac Grand Prix, the parking brake strut connecting both shoes through the Grand Prix mechanism, the adjusting screw assembly setting correct shoe-to-drum clearance for reliable holding force on your Pontiac Grand Prix, and retaining clips and washers securing the strut and adjuster in correct operating position on the Grand Prix.
The parking brake shoe adjuster on the Pontiac Grand Prix sets the gap between the shoes and the inner drum surface of the Grand Prix rotor hat. In American winters, the drum-in-hat cavity of the Grand Prix traps road salt and moisture. The adjuster threads on your Pontiac Grand Prix corrode and seize, sometimes within a single winter season. A seized adjuster on the Grand Prix produces a parking brake that either drags against the drum when released or fails to hold the Pontiac Grand Prix on a slope when engaged.
Parking brake shoe kits for the Pontiac Grand Prix are among the most vehicle-specific brake components in the catalogue. The shoe arc length, lining width, spring rates, strut length, and adjuster thread specification for the Grand Prix are all determined by the specific drum-in-hat diameter of the Pontiac Grand Prix rotor. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Pontiac Grand Prix exact year and model, with zinc-plated or coated hardware components to resist the concentrated corrosion inside the Grand Prix drum-in-hat cavity.
How do I know if my Pontiac Grand Prix uses parking brake shoes?
Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles with four-wheel disc brakes often use a drum-in-hat parking brake requiring separate shoes. Some Grand Prix variants instead use a caliper-actuated parking brake. Use the GeoBrakes vehicle selector to confirm your Pontiac Grand Prix parking brake type and find the correct kit.
My Pontiac Grand Prix parking brake light stays on after I release it, do the shoes need replacing?
A warning light that stays on after full release on the Pontiac Grand Prix can indicate worn shoes, a faulty sensor, low brake fluid, or a stretched cable on the Grand Prix. If the Pontiac Grand Prix fails to hold on a slope, a shoe kit replacement combined with cable and adjuster inspection is the recommended starting point for your Grand Prix.
Can I adjust the parking brake on my Pontiac Grand Prix after installing a shoe kit without replacing the cable?
Yes, if the Grand Prix cable is in good condition and within its adjustment range. After correct shoe installation and adjuster setting on the Pontiac Grand Prix, adjust the cable until the brake holds firmly within three to five clicks of Grand Prix lever travel.
