About Brake Shoess
Fiat brake shoes are a part of the drum braking system. The wheel bolts to the drum, inside the drum there are two metal shoes lined with heat resistant material, when the brakes are applied the lining is pushed, hydraulically, against the smooth inside edge of the drum, consequently slowing the rotation of the wheels.
Some car makes and models have disc brakes on the front wheels and drum brakes on the rear wheels. More commonly on modern vehicles disc brakes are fitted on all four wheels. On some rear disc brakes the disc has a small brake drum incorporated in the centre of the rear discs for the operation of the handbrake system.
The lining in time, wears away and the rivets that connect the lining to the brake shoe can become exposed and are in danger of making contact with the smooth inside of the drum. If this is allowed to happen damage will be caused to the inside drum surface. Fiat brake shoes is the ideal replacement part, designed specifically for the make and model of your vehicle.
Fiat trivia
- Fiat has won the European Car of the Year award an incredible nine times, more than any other manufacturer. However, the first Fiat to win the prestigious award was the 124 model, which was released in 1967.
- The British School of Motoring uses Fiats as learner vehicles. They moved from the Vauxhall Corsa to Fiats in 2009, and Fiat has now supplied over 14,000 vehicles to the BSM.
- There was an ongoing joke in the UK that Fiat was an acronym for 'Fix it again, Tony'. Fiat found it hilarious and used the slogan themselves in 2014 in their ads.

- The 1999 Fiat Multipla has been consistently voted one of the strangest car designs of all time. It’s easy to see why, with the odd light placement, a muffin-shaped top, and two rows of three seats (in the front!). A redesign in 2004 made the Multipla much more popular.
