Chevrolet Express Parking Brake Shoe

The Chevrolet Express Parking Brake Shoe provides the important clamping force that locks the rear drums when you pull the hand lever to keep the van stationary on a slope or during the loading process when the Express sits idling. Inside the drum, the Parking Brake Shoe has a tough lining that presses outward into the wall of the drum, generating friction and halting the rotation of the wheels until you release the cable. This is a simple mechanical arrangement apart from the hydraulic service brakes and provides drivers a reliable backup in the event of failure of fluid pressure. Across the production run, Chevrolet maintained the drum-based Parking Brake Shoe design so all Expresses built with rear drums depend on the same curved metal shoe covered with friction lining instead of disc style pads. Because the function of the part never changed, differences are restricted to minor tweaks in material that do not affect the way the Parking Brake Shoe grips the drum and holds the vehicle still. Regular inspection of lining thickness ensures the Express Parking Brake Shoe continues to anchor the heavy Chevrolet van wherever it is parked.

Each OEM Chevrolet Express Parking Brake Shoe we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
