Brake Pad Fitting Kits
The primary components in most brake fitting kits are the springs whether they are traditional coil springs used in drums or flat springs to hold pads in place; their fundamental function is to create tension.
But in just 2 years a typical drum spring will have lost 30% of its tension when new and a brake pad spring will have lost at least 50% of its tension!
The results of which range from annoying brake noise to a more significant reduction in braking stability, excessive pad wear and premature disc damage due to uneven braking.
Replacing drum springs will help to prevent poor handbrake performance and stop shoes dragging on the drum.
