Parts for your 2001 Holden Commodore-Brake shoes

2001 Holden Commodore brake shoes — what they do and how to look after them

Brake shoes are relevant to the 2001 Holden Commodore (VX series). While the car runs disc brakes front and rear for service braking, it uses internal drum-style brake shoes for the parking brake inside the rear disc rotor “hat”. This drum-in-hat arrangement is documented in the Holden VT/VX Service Manual (Brakes, Section 5B) and mirrored by major AU/NZ parts catalogues from Bendix and Bosch, which list park-brake shoe sets for the 2000–2002 Commodore. DBA rotor technical notes for VT–VX also describe the integrated parking-brake drum within the rear rotors.

On a 2001 Commodore, the brake shoes aren’t there to stop the car at speed
