TRW Rear Brake Shoes GS8595

The handbrake shoe kit is an essential component in a car's braking system. It is responsible for the car's parking brake function. When the handbrake lever is pulled, the handbrake shoe presses against the brake drum, slowing down and eventually stopping the car's wheels from turning.

The handbrake shoe kit typically consists of two shoe assemblies, each with a friction material lining that makes contact with the inside surface of the brake drum. Handbrake shoe kits undergo wear and tear and require periodic replacement. If the brake shoe lining becomes too thin, it can cause the brake to fail, leading to dangerous driving conditions. It is essential to ensure that the handbrake shoe kit is operating correctly and replaced promptly if needed.
