ABS 2416‑S Brake Drum

The ABS 2416‑S Brake Drum is a high‑performance rear braking component designed for a wide range of compact and subcompact vehicles, including models from Ford, Fiat, Lancia, and other European manufacturers. This drum delivers reliable stopping power while maintaining durability under demanding driving conditions.

Key Features

• Material Composition: Made from a high‑strength steel alloy with an engineered heat‑resistant coating that reduces wear and extends service life.
• Diameter & Thickness: Standard outer diameter of 180 mm with a wall thickness optimized for consistent brake pad contact and heat dissipation.
• Heat Management: Integrated ventilation slots and a thermal barrier layer to maintain optimal operating temperatures during heavy braking.
• Compatibility: Fits rear axles of numerous models such as the Ford KA (RU8), Fiat 500, Lancia Y, Panda, Punto, Grande Punto, and other compact cars. The drum is engineered to match OEM specifications for these vehicles.
• Installation: Designed with a standard mounting flange that aligns with the vehicle’s rear hub assembly, allowing for straightforward replacement without modification.
• Performance: Provides consistent braking force across a range of temperatures and driving conditions, ensuring safe stopping distances even under repeated hard stops.

Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted on jack stands. Disconnect the battery to prevent accidental electrical discharge.
2. Remove Existing Drum: Detach the brake caliper or drum assembly from the rear hub. Carefully remove the old drum, noting any retaining screws or clips.
3. Inspect Hub and Brake Components: Check for wear on the hub surface, wheel bearings, and brake pads. Replace any worn parts before installing the new drum.
4. Mount the New Drum: Align the mounting flange of the ABS 2416‑S with the hub’s recesses. Secure using the supplied bolts or retaining clips, tightening to manufacturer torque specifications.
5. Reinstall Brake Assembly: Reattach the brake caliper or drum assembly, ensuring proper alignment and clearance for the brake pads.
6. Check Alignment: Verify that the drum rotates freely without binding. Adjust if necessary to maintain smooth operation.
7. Test Drive: After reassembly, perform a low‑speed test drive to confirm proper braking performance and absence of vibrations or noises.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect brake pads for wear; replace when pad thickness falls below 2 mm.
• Clean the drum surface with a non‑abrasive brush and brake cleaner to remove dust or debris that could affect braking.
• Avoid using metal shims or improvised spacers that can alter the drum’s alignment, potentially leading to uneven pad wear.
• If you notice any vibration during braking, inspect for drum warping or misalignment and address promptly.
