Toyota Prius Rear Brake Shoe - Model 2003-2009

The primary function of a brake shoe is to slow or stop the motion of a machine or vehicle. Brake shoes carry the brake lining inside brake drum systems. They are a curved piece of metal, with a friction material fixed to one side. When the driver applies the brake, a wheel cylinder in the drum brake system forces the brake shoe outward, against the inside of the drum.

How do brake shoes stop a vehicle?

Brake shoes stop the car by pushing outward, while brake pads stop it by moving closer together. Instead of sitting inside a brake drum, brake pads are positioned around a disc called a rotor
