Buick Century Brake Drum

The Brake Drum in Buick Century engaged in the braking system and its main role is to decelerate the car through friction. This is done through the rubbing of the brake shoes on the inner face of the drum which is ordinarily made of special cast iron that is notorious for its qualities of sturdiness and high heat conductivity. Since the brake drum also rotates with the wheel and the axle, pressing the brakes makes the brake lining to push outward with a force in a radial movement that creates the necessary friction to slow the car. Although the overview does not point out different types or styles of the brake drum in the Buick Century car models, the basic principle is the same across all the models, and stress is laid on the heat dissipation since there is usually friction when the brakes are applied.

Each OEM Buick Century Brake Drum we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
