Subaru Outback Parking Brake Shoe

The Subaru Outback Parking Brake Shoe is an apparatus that prevents the wheels of the vehicle from turning whenever it is parked. The Parking Brake Shoe is located in the drum surface and it has a friction lining. When the hand lever or foot pedal pulls a cable, the lining presses against the drum wall to produce resistance and stop wheel rotation. A small drum is cast into the rear disc brake rotor to house the Parking Brake Shoe, and the same cable linkage applies the shoe for holding power. Electronic parking systems have the potential to replace the traditional manual lever linkage. This can be done by employing a small motor to automatically tighten the cables when Park is selected. However, the Parking Brake Shoe still provides the actual friction contact. Frequent engagement prevents corrosion which could cause excessive pedal travel, sticking, or other problems. Direct-fit replacement Subaru Outback Parking Brake Shoe parts are manufactured to original equipment specifications for fit, performance, and durability. These parts ensure dependable operation in the Subaru Outback rear braking arrangement.
