Parts for your 2017 Subaru Exiga-Brake shoes

2017 Subaru Exiga brake shoes (parking brake shoes)

Based on technical references, brake shoes are indeed relevant to the 2017 Subaru Exiga. The Subaru Exiga (YA series) Service Manual (Brake—Parking Brake section) and Subaru’s FAST electronic parts catalogue both specify an internal drum “drum-in-disc” parking brake with dedicated shoe linings for the rear hubs. That means the Exiga uses conventional rear disc brakes for stopping, and separate brake shoes inside the rear rotors purely for the handbrake.

On this Exiga, the brake shoes sit inside the “hat” of the rear discs and are cable-actuated. Their job is to hold the car securely when parked, especially on hills, and to provide a reliable mechanical hold independent of the hydraulic braking system. They’re not for slowing the vehicle at speed
