Parts for your 2017 Mitsubishi Asx-Brake shoes

2017 Mitsubishi ASX brake shoes – what’s fitted and how to look after them

Based on technical documentation, brake shoes are indeed used on the 2017 Mitsubishi ASX—but only for the handbrake. The Mitsubishi Motors Workshop Manual for ASX/RVR/Outlander Sport (Group 36 – Brakes) details a rear disc rotor with an internal drum “hat” that houses parking-brake shoes. The Mitsubishi ASA electronic parts catalogue likewise lists a dedicated parking brake shoe set and hardware for GA-series ASX models. Major ANZ application catalogues (e.g., Bendix/Protex) also list parking brake shoes for 2017 ASX, confirming fitment.

On a 2017 ASX, the main stopping is handled by disc brake pads at the front and rear. The brake shoes sit inside the rear rotor’s hat and serve the handbrake only. They expand mechanically when the lever’s pulled, locking the rear wheels to hold the vehicle still—handy on steep Wellington lanes or a Gold Coast driveway.

Because they’re used for parking rather than high-speed braking, these shoes typically wear slowly. Still, they need periodic attention to keep the handbrake bite strong and consistent. Smart servicing includes:

• Inspection every 20,000–30,000 km (or annually): check shoe lining thickness, glazing, and contamination from brake dust or diff/axle grease.
• Cleaning: use a proper brake cleaner
