The brake drum on the Suzuki Sx4 is the rotating cast-iron bowl that the Sx4 drum brake shoes press against to slow your vehicle. Mounted to the rear axle hub of your Suzuki Sx4, 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 Sx4 vehicles, Suzuki Sx4 brake drums fully enclose the shoe assembly, which means wear and damage often goes unnoticed until braking performance on the Suzuki Sx4 is noticeably affected.
Standard OEM-Grade Drums for the Suzuki Sx4
Standard OEM-grade cast-iron drums for the Suzuki Sx4 are manufactured to the original equipment diameter, wall thickness, and surface finish specification for your Sx4. They are the direct replacement for the factory Sx4 drum with no modification required.
Coated Brake Drums for the Suzuki Sx4
Coated Suzuki Sx4 brake drums feature a corrosion-resistant coating applied to the external drum surfaces of your Sx4, the hat section, outer wall, and wheel mounting face. Surface rust is a common issue on Suzuki Sx4 drum brake vehicles in US, particularly during periods of non-use in winter when moisture and salt collect inside the Sx4 wheel well. A coated drum on your Suzuki Sx4 resists surface rust that can transfer to the wheel mounting face, making future drum removal significantly easier at the next Sx4 brake service.
Suzuki Sx4 brake drum replacement requires matching the correct inner diameter, wall thickness, bolt circle, hub bore, and drum offset for your Sx4. Errors in any of these dimensions produce incorrect shoe-to-drum clearance, uneven wear, and braking problems on the Suzuki Sx4. Our vehicle selector eliminates those risks by confirming the correct drum for the Suzuki Sx4 exact year, make, model, and axle. Coated Sx4 drum options are available for vehicles with heavy salt exposure.
How long do brake drums last on a Suzuki Sx4?
Suzuki Sx4 brake drums typically last 150,000 to 200,000 kilometres with periodic resurfacing, significantly longer than disc brake rotors on the Sx4. Each resurfacing removes material from the Sx4 drum and reduces wall thickness. Once the Suzuki Sx4 drum reaches its maximum allowable inner diameter, it must be replaced rather than turned again.
Should I replace brake drums on my Suzuki Sx4 in pairs?
Yes. Replace both Suzuki Sx4 drums on the same axle to maintain balanced braking. Drums of different inner diameters on the Sx4 create uneven friction forces, causing the Suzuki Sx4 to pull to the fresher-drum side during braking.
Should I replace drums and shoes at the same time on my Suzuki Sx4?
Yes, it is strongly recommended for the Suzuki Sx4. New shoes on a scored or out-of-round Sx4 drum wear unevenly from day one. New Suzuki Sx4 drums with old shoes that have worn to match the old drum surface will contact the new bore incorrectly. Replacing both together on the Sx4 ensures proper break-in and maximum service life from both components.
