Hyundai Azera Brake Shoes
We source brake shoes for every Azera generation sold in South Africa, then check the fit against your VIN before it leaves the warehouse
What Are Hyundai Azera Brake Shoes?
Brake shoes are the friction pads that press outwards against the inside of rear drums on smaller Hyundais — i10, Getz, i20 entry grades. They handle parking-brake hold and light rear braking duty; the self-adjuster mechanism that sits with them is a known weak point on Hyundais.

How we match brake shoes to your Azera
What changes across the range
Sold here across TG, the Azera is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.
The Grandeur name on imported documentation refers to the same car, which is worth knowing when a listing does not say "Azera".
Worth knowing: the Azerasold as the Grandeur in other markets and closely related to the NF-era Sonata underneath.
What we check on brake shoes
- •The generation code, because Azera parts lists split on it
- •The engine family — this Azera was sold with Lambda 3.3 V6 and Lambda 3.8 V6
- •The derivative and whether the car has been fitted with non-standard wheels, which can rule out some caliper and disc combinations
- •Whether the car is pre- or post-facelift within its generation
In South Africa the Azera is mostly a rare full-size sedan here, where V6 driveline and premium interior parts almost always come from used stock rather than a shelf. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Azera Brake Shoes: Common Questions
Will brake shoes from another Azera fit mine?
Not automatically. The Azera sold in South Africa as TG, and the Grandeur name on imported documentation refers to the same car, which is worth knowing when a listing does not say "Azera". Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
Can you source brake shoes for the Azera if local stock is dry?
Usually, yes. The Azera sold as the Grandeur in other markets and closely related to the NF-era Sonata underneath, which gives us a second catalogue to search when Hyundai-listed stock runs out. We will tell you what we are quoting rather than leaving you to guess.
Does my Hyundai even have rear shoes?
Only if it has rear drums, and within the Hyundai range that follows the derivative rather than the model — plenty of cars in the range run rear discs on higher specifications and drums lower down. Worth confirming before you order, because shoes and pads are not interchangeable in any sense.
What do worn brake shoes feel like?
A squeal from the rear under light braking, a handbrake that needs progressively more clicks, and longer stopping distances in the wet. Once the friction material reaches the rivets you get a metallic scrape — and by then the drum is usually scored and joining the bill.
How long do brake shoes last on a Hyundai?
Typically 60,000 to 100,000 km, roughly double front pad life because the rears simply do less work. Potholes, a permanently loaded boot and a seized auto-adjuster all cut into that. If the handbrake has started slipping, inspect well before the 80,000 km mark rather than waiting for the noise.
Do the springs and hardware come with the shoes?
Most aftermarket sets include the return springs, hold-down pins and the adjuster. Fit all of it. Reusing tired springs or a rusted auto-adjuster is exactly what makes a drum adjuster failure come straight back, and you will have paid the labour twice for one job.
Where do I get Hyundai brake shoes in South Africa?
We source Ferodo, ATE, Motopart and Optima sets nationally through our SA supplier network. Sets for the current high-volume models are usually on the shelf; older Getz and i10 sets generally need ordering in. Send your VIN for a same-day quote.
