2015 Suzuki Splash brake shoes: what they do and how to look after them

Based on Suzuki factory service information and OEM/aftermarket parts catalogues for the 2015 Suzuki Splash, this model uses brake shoes on the rear axle inside drum brakes, with conventional disc pads on the front. So, brake shoes are very much relevant to this vehicle.

The rear brake shoes do the steady, reliable work of slowing the car from the back and holding it still when parked. When the driver presses the pedal, the shoes are pushed outwards against the inside of the brake drum, turning motion into heat and stopping power. They also serve the parking brake: pulling the handbrake lever mechanically spreads the shoes, so the Splash stays put on a hill.

For servicing, the shoes should be inspected at regular intervals (typically each service or about every 20,000 km). Replacement is recommended when the lining is near the service limit, shows glazing, cracking or oil contamination, or if braking performance or handbrake hold has dropped off. Always replace shoes in axle pairs to keep braking balanced.
