Drum brakes are commonly found in older vehicles, particularly in the rear wheels.
The operation of drum brakes relies on the expansion of brake shoes against the inner surface of a rotating drum.
The drum brake system consists of a brake drum, brake shoes, brake linings, and various springs and linkages.
When the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is applied to the wheel cylinders, which in turn force the brake shoes outward against the drum's inner surface.
