Chevrolet Astro Brake Shoe

Chevrolet Astro vehicles have a drum brake type where front brake shoes play the central part. In operation, these brake shoes apply the amount of friction required to stop the vehicle, through contact with the brake drum. This models' front wheels have shoes rigidly mounted to a backing plate and operated by hydraulic wheel cylinders so they make safe stops. Astro models also contain the self-adjuster which helps to compensate the wearing of the lining and also helps to keep the minimum shoe-to-drum distance. In regard to the type of brake shoes, there are two basic types: non-servo and dual servo, though the latter entails better specifications as far as stopping force is concerned due to its self energizing component. In general, Chevrolet Astro front brake shoes are quite essential and serve an important function in the vehicle's braking system.

Each OEM Chevrolet Astro Brake Shoe 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.
