Saturn LS Brake Shoe

Brake Shoe of Saturn LS vehicle is an important part of the drum brake assembly and makes the friction needed for the brake action. During braking the shoes come in contact with the brake drum and due to friction,the speed of the vehicle is retarded. The design involves a pair of shoes that has to be fastened on a backing plate, where they are operated with hydraulic pistons; there are return springs to cause them to retract when they have performed the braking operation. This was with regards to the front Brake Shoes which have been fashioned in different versions and include the non-servo and the duo-servo. All the drum brakes are self-energizing, but the duo-servo brakes have better stopping power because of their structure- as the drum rotates it also pulls the shoe closer to it. The Brake Shoe must be inspected and maintained on a frequent basis, as altered shapes or contaminated or damaged surfaces reduce the braking effect.

Each OEM Saturn LS 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.

Saturn LS Brake Shoe Parts Questions & Experts Answers

  • Q: How do you remove brake shoes on Saturn LS?
    A: To remove drum brake shoes, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands. Release the parking brake and remove the wheel and brake drum. Clean the brake shoe assembly and carefully unhook the upper return spring. Remove the return spring retaining bracket, self-adjuster lever and spring, and the adjuster from between the shoes. Take off the leading and trailing shoe hold-down springs, detach the lower return spring, and remove the shoes. Dismantle the brake adjuster and inspect the return springs. Transfer the parking brake lever if necessary. Check the Wheel Cylinder for leaks or damage. To install the brake shoes, clean the backing plate and lubricate the contact areas. Ensure the parking brake cable is engaged and secure the shoes with the hold-down springs. Screw the adjuster wheel onto the adjuster and place it between the shoes. Install the adjuster lever spring and lever, securing it with the return spring retaining bracket. Remove the rubber band from the wheel cylinder and install the upper return spring. Check the drum for any damage before reinstalling it. Mount the wheel and repeat the process for the remaining brake. Lower the vehicle, tighten the lug nuts, and adjust the lining-to-drum clearance. Test the brakes before driving. For parking brake shoes on models with rear disc brakes, start by loosening the rear wheel lug nuts and raising the rear of the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the rear calipers and discs, then clean the parking brake assembly. To install, mount the disc and caliper, adjust the star wheel until the shoes slightly drag, and then back off the adjuster. Mount the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts. Set the parking brake shoes by pulling up on the lever, adjust the parking brake cable, and test the brakes before driving.
