Genuine GMC Safari Brake Shoe

The GMC Safari Brake Shoe is the unit that plays the pivotal role as the provider of friction that allows the van to slow down or park safely. Sitting inside the rear drum, each Brake Shoe has a bonded or riveted lining that presses out as hydraulic wheel cylinder pistons move it, producing the friction that turns motion into heat. After stopping, stout return springs pull the Brake Shoe away to avoid drag while a built-in self adjuster nudges the lining closer as it wears and keeps pedal feel firm. Two layout styles have emerged over the years, the leading trailing non-servo design and the more aggressive duo servo version. The duo servo arrangement allows the primary Brake Shoe to push the secondary unit harder and increases the self-energizing force, while the leading trailing type is applied with each shoe mostly independently, providing smoother engagement better suited for lighter loads. Every Safari retains the rear drum setup as it works well with the mechanical parking linkage, a task less efficiently attained in disc hardware setups. A genuine GMC part ensures that each Brake Shoe matches drum diameter, so owners of a GMC van such as the Safari should keep an eye on lining thickness, cracks and contamination, replacing any Brake Shoe that shows excessive wear or fluid soaking before braking performance suffers.
