Construction & Design:

Each PowerStop parking brake shoe is constructed from 100% new steel, which is treated with a black coating to prevent rust and extend service life. The friction material uses a semi-metallic formula that is carefully post-cured to maximize holding power while maintaining smooth engagement. The shoes are precision cam ground to guarantee a perfect fit within the brake drum, minimizing uneven wear and ensuring reliable operation.

Chamfered edges on the friction surface help to reduce noise and prevent the common issue of chatter, resulting in quieter, smoother braking performance. The absence of asbestos and copper in the friction material reflects a commitment to safer, more environmentally responsible products.
