When to Replace Your Brake Shoes

Commercial vehicles endure high mileage and heavy braking—so brake shoes naturally wear down over time. Watch for signs such as:

Rattling or grinding noises during braking
Delayed response time when pressing the brake pedal
Weak or loose handbrake
Increased stopping distance

Prompt replacement ensures driver safety, load protection, and legal compliance with vehicle inspection standards.

Tips to Extend Brake Shoe Lifespan

Want to get the most out of your brake shoes? We recommend:

Avoid overloading your truck, which adds stress on your braking system
Drive at moderate speeds and avoid sudden, hard braking
Use engine braking in manual transmissions when descending slopes
Regularly inspect brake components for early signs of wear

Pairing your brake shoes with high-quality brake linings and compatible components helps preserve performance and safety.
