Parts for your 2009 Audi Q5-Brake shoes

2009 Audi Q5 brake shoes — are they used on this model?

For the 2009 Audi Q5 (Type 8R), brake shoes aren’t fitted or used. This Q5 runs disc brakes on all four wheels, and the parking brake is the electronic type that clamps the rear brake pads via a motor on each rear calliper. There’s no drum-in-hat handbrake setup and therefore no brake-shoes to replace. This layout is documented across Audi’s factory repair information and platform training materials for MLB-based vehicles of the era.
