Replacement Brake Shoes

Brake shoes are used in cars with drum brakes and are the equivalent of a brake pad. Drum brakes are common in older cars and can be more cost-effective. The shoes sit inside the drum and press against it when pressure is applied to the brake pedal. This creates enough braking force to stop the car.

Once they wear out, it can result in loud noises and ineffective braking. Brake shoes must be replaced when they wear out. Natrad can supply and install the right brake shoes for your car, just get in touch with your local store today.

If a brake shoe is worn out, it can result in loud noises, juddering and ineffective braking. Brake shoes must be replaced when they wear out to ensure your safety on the road. Natrad can supply and install the right brake shoes for your car and advise you on an impressive range of other brake parts and products, so Nip into your local Natrad store today.

Brake Shoes For Your Car

There are multiple types of drum brakes and brake shoes, so selecting the right ones for your vehicle is imperative. Natrad has a massive range covering over 90% of the Australian, Asian, European and American vehicle markets - so there is sure to be something available for you. You can ask more about our stock at your local store, which you can find here. If you’ve noticed any odd behaviour while braking, it may be due to a worn shoe. Abnormal screeching noises, reduced brake response or different brake pedal feel are all common indicators. Waiting to replace a brake shoe puts your safety at risk, so it's best to act quickly if you notice something wrong. Our range features NAO (non-asbestos organic) formulations, preventing harmful contaminants from escaping the environment. So, when you buy from us, you can be assured your products are not only environmentally friendly - but designed to last.

If we don't have a brake shoe in stock, we'll source it for you

  • How do I know if I need new brake shoes?

    Worn-out brake shoes should be replaced, as they increase the risk of accidents on the road. Very worn-out shoes can lead to brake drum damage, so it’s best to replace them as soon as a problem occurs or as advised by your servicing schedule. 

    There are some indicators that your brake shoes need replacing:

    • The brake shoe wear indicator has reached ‘low’ marking.
    • You can hear an abnormal screeching or grinding noise when braking
    • You experience a different or reduced brake pedal feel

    Natrad can supply and fit new brake shoes for your car or light commercial vehicle. We have a wide range of brake shoes to suit a large variety of makes and models. Book a brake check today, and one of our qualified mechanics will inspect your brakes and advise you of the best replacement shoes for your vehicle.

  • Why do you recommend Mintex and Nisshinbo?

    Not all brake parts are made equal! Natrad supplies Mintex and Nisshinbo braking parts, fluids and lubricants thanks to their strong focus on quality and reliability. Poor quality parts can often result in inferior performance and a shorter life span, so it’s important to choose trusted brands that produce durable brakes. Nip into your nearest Natrad for more information on the range!

  • What type of car brands can Natrad replace brake shoes for?

    Our range of quality brake shoes are supplied by globally leading brands, Mintex and Nisshinbo. Between them, they cover over 90% of the vehicle market across Asia, Australia, Europe and America. No matter what type of vehicle you own, we have a massive range of brake shoes available!

  • What does a brake shoe do?

    Brake shoes and brake pads, along with brake lining, provide the friction material necessary to slow or stop the wheel from rotating. Unfortunately, brake shoes and brake pads wear down from contact with the metal surfaces over time. When this happens, they need to be replaced to maintain optimum braking performance.

    Natrad stocks a great range of quality brake shoes designed to suit most makes and models of cars and other light commercial vehicles. If you require assistance with replacing the brake parts in your braking system or are concerned that the stopping performance of your brakes is compromised, Nip into Natrad or contact us for a brake check.
