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