Technical Specifications

Installation Overview

The installation process follows standard rear drum brake procedures. Key steps include:

1. Remove the existing drum and inspect the hub surface for damage.
2. Clean the hub with a solvent to eliminate grease or debris.
3. Align the new ABS 2326‑S Brake Drum onto the hub, ensuring proper seating of the mounting flange.
4. Tighten the retaining bolts to the specified torque (typically 70–80 Nm).
5. Reinstall brake pads and adjust the backing plate as needed.
6. Perform a brake system bleed to eliminate air from the hydraulic lines.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Stopping Power: The drum’s uniform surface and precise geometry maintain even pad wear, providing reliable braking force throughout its lifespan.
• Reduced Fade: Advanced heat management prevents brake fade during aggressive driving or heavy loads.
• Noise Reduction: Polished inner surfaces minimize squeal and chatter, enhancing overall ride quality.
• Longevity: High‑grade alloy steel resists corrosion and wear, extending the drum’s service life beyond many aftermarket alternatives.
