How do you know when they need to be serviced? With the pads and rotors in the front, it's easy to kneel down and take a peek--observe the amount of pads left, look at the rotors, etc.
Can't do that with drums covering up the shoes and every brake mechanism in the rear.
So, am I to understand that you actually have to remove that drum periodically to check it out?
Or wait till it LETS YOU KNOW it needs to be serviced or replaced?
Drum Brakes, ye' soooo last century? Amirite!?
Plenty of cars are still rocking drums in the rear, even plenty of NEW Toyotas come with drums in the rear.
sidenote: Boycott Toyota for their shamelessness (I can say that because I drive a 2007 Corolla.)
