complete rear drum brakes 2017 Elantra

[flinter]

Hi,

What would be a fair price to pay in NJ for a COMPLETE rear drum brake job on a 2017 Hyundai Elantra which would be all new drum hardware kit, premium shoes, brake drum and wheel cylinder, bleed brakes and new fluid and labor?

With so many variables, I'll guess between $600 and $900 dollars. Variables would include dealer vs. independent shop, rural vs. city area, quality of parts, current condition (rust), etc.. Expect at least 2 to 3 hours labor regardless of the actual time required.

DIY drum brakes are not as intimidating as many make them out to be. You Tube videos show every detail.

Let us know how you make out.

My 2013/14 Patriot uses Nissan rear brake parts, OEM @ 1/2 cost of MOPAR.

That's interesting! Did not know that!

They are a Mitsubishi platform right? I know the CVTs are Nissan.

Yes, the old Patriot/Compass shared the Mitsubishi GS platform (Lancer/Outlander) and I'm told share some suspension and other components. I bought my "2014" in March of 2013, the first models with the Hyundai 6 speed PowerTech transmission.

The reliable "sewing machine" GEMA (non-Tigershark) engine was built an hour away from me in Dundee, MI. Knock on wood (good Karma continue please), but mine has been incredibly reliable and extreme low cost of ownership. Krown has kept is rust free.

Always annoying when SIL parks his POS car behind me, lol:

What's the reason that a 9 year old Hyundai would need replacement brake wheel cylinders? Replacing wheel cylinders are not typically recommended unless the seals are leaking brake fluid.

$550 or more. Perhaps they can turn the drums...

Ditto for the drums. Don't understand why so many folks get into a "replace everything" mindset.

With most drum setups and a front brake bias, most drum setups last a very, very long time before requiring replacement of anything.

I'd guess $600 or so

If you don't want to spend that much and can't do it yourself and don't know anyone that can do it, get the Powerstop drum and shoe kit from Rock Auto, along with wheel cylinders and Bosch ESI6 brake fluid, then find a guy on Craigslist to install them
