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