The company always gives its patrons’ safety the highest priority. That is why a Honda’s braking system is one of the best in the automotive industry. Honda installs braking components of the highest quality to ensure your safety while driving. Some of these components are the brake discs, brake pads, brake calipers, and Honda brake shoes.

A Honda’s braking system is activated when you step on the brakes. The brake fluid is forced into the wheel cylinder, which triggers the Honda brake shoe to action. The hydraulic pistons will then push the brake shoes into the surface of the brake drum, which would stop the wheels from spinning. And then, when you release your hold on the brakes, your Honda brake shoes is brought back to a resting position by the springs. Honda brake shoes are equipped with metal backing to provide enough strength and effectively stop the wheels. However, the metal-to-metal contact of the brake shoes and the rotor can cause severe damage. Thus, Honda equipped your Honda brake shoes with brake pads

The brake pads serve as a buffer between the brake shoes and the rotor. As these linings wear out, the brake shoes have to travel farther to reach the drum, decreasing the brake’s efficiency. Honda brake shoes must be replaced when the pads are worn and is down to 0.8 mm, or 1/32 inch. If the pads are attached to the brake shoes’ backing plate, the brakes shoes must be replaced when it reaches 1.6 mm or 1/16 inch thickness.
