GeoBrakes stocks OEM-grade brake drums confirmed to fit the Saturn Sc2, the cast-iron components that form the friction surface for the Sc2 drum brake shoes. Available in standard and corrosion-coated configurations for your Sc2, every drum is manufactured to the correct inner diameter, wall thickness, and surface finish for the Saturn Sc2

The brake drum on the Saturn Sc2 is the rotating cast-iron bowl that the Sc2 drum brake shoes press against to slow your vehicle. Mounted to the rear axle hub of your Saturn Sc2, 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 Sc2 vehicles, Saturn Sc2 brake drums fully enclose the shoe assembly, which means wear and damage often goes unnoticed until braking performance on the Saturn Sc2 is noticeably affected.
Standard OEM-Grade Drums for the Saturn Sc2
Standard OEM-grade cast-iron drums for the Saturn Sc2 are manufactured to the original equipment diameter, wall thickness, and surface finish specification for your Sc2. They are the direct replacement for the factory Sc2 drum with no modification required.
Coated Brake Drums for the Saturn Sc2
Coated Saturn Sc2 brake drums feature a corrosion-resistant coating applied to the external drum surfaces of your Sc2, the hat section, outer wall, and wheel mounting face. Surface rust is a common issue on Saturn Sc2 drum brake vehicles in US, particularly during periods of non-use in winter when moisture and salt collect inside the Sc2 wheel well. A coated drum on your Saturn Sc2 resists surface rust that can transfer to the wheel mounting face, making future drum removal significantly easier at the next Sc2 brake service.
Saturn Sc2 brake drum replacement requires matching the correct inner diameter, wall thickness, bolt circle, hub bore, and drum offset for your Sc2. Errors in any of these dimensions produce incorrect shoe-to-drum clearance, uneven wear, and braking problems on the Saturn Sc2. Our vehicle selector eliminates those risks by confirming the correct drum for the Saturn Sc2 exact year, make, model, and axle. Coated Sc2 drum options are available for vehicles with heavy salt exposure.
How long do brake drums last on a Saturn Sc2?
Saturn Sc2 brake drums typically last 150,000 to 200,000 kilometres with periodic resurfacing, significantly longer than disc brake rotors on the Sc2. Each resurfacing removes material from the Sc2 drum and reduces wall thickness. Once the Saturn Sc2 drum reaches its maximum allowable inner diameter, it must be replaced rather than turned again.
Should I replace brake drums on my Saturn Sc2 in pairs?
Yes. Replace both Saturn Sc2 drums on the same axle to maintain balanced braking. Drums of different inner diameters on the Sc2 create uneven friction forces, causing the Saturn Sc2 to pull to the fresher-drum side during braking.
Should I replace drums and shoes at the same time on my Saturn Sc2?
Yes, it is strongly recommended for the Saturn Sc2. New shoes on a scored or out-of-round Sc2 drum wear unevenly from day one. New Saturn Sc2 drums with old shoes that have worn to match the old drum surface will contact the new bore incorrectly. Replacing both together on the Sc2 ensures proper break-in and maximum service life from both components.
