Brake Shoe: Service and Repair

The GM replacement brake lining material is recommended for all GM vehicles. This is to maintain the balance between front and rear brake performance. GM replacement parts have been carefully selected. Selected to provide the proper brake balance for purposes of both stopping distance and controllability over the full range of operation conditions. Installation of the front or rear brake lining material with performance different from that of the GM replacement parts recommended for this vehicle can change the intended brake balance of this vehicle.
