Hyundai Getz Brake Drums
Brake Drums for the Hyundai Getz — new, used and aftermarket stock, quoted once we know which Getz you are running
What Are Hyundai Getz Brake Drums?
Brake drums sit on the rear axle of smaller Hyundais like the i10, i20 entry grades, with shoes expanding inside them to stop the car. They handle less duty than fronts but carry almost all of the parking-brake load, which is why Hyundai's automatic adjuster failures end up scoring drums here in SA.
Signs You Need New Brake Drums
How we match brake drums to your Getz
On the Getz, TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift) are all in circulation locally, and they do not share one parts list.The facelift changed lighting and front-end trim, so a body or lamp part that fits an early TB may not fit a late one even though the mechanical parts interchange freely.
- 1
Find the generation code on your Getz — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The Getz ran Alpha 1.3/1.4 and Alpha II 1.6 in this market.
- 3
Send both to us with the brake drums you are after , along with the derivative and whether the car has been fitted with non-standard wheels, which can rule out some caliper and disc combinations. We match it before we quote, not after.
Sourcing note: the Getzshares the Alpha engine family with the Accent LC and MC — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the Getz is mostly long out of production but still everywhere on South African roads, which makes the Getz a used-parts car first and a new-parts car second. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai Getz Brake Drums FAQs
Will brake drums from another Getz fit mine?
Not automatically. The Getz sold in South Africa as TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift), and the facelift changed lighting and front-end trim, so a body or lamp part that fits an early TB may not fit a late one even though the mechanical parts interchange freely. Send us the generation code off your VIN plate and we will confirm it either way before anything is dispatched.
What should I send you when asking about Getz brake drums?
The VIN is the single most useful thing — a photo of the plate is fine. Failing that, the generation code and the engine code off the block. The Getz ran as TB (a single generation, pre- and post-facelift), so the generation is what narrows the search.
How much does it cost to replace brake drums on a Hyundai?
Parts vary by model — i20 rears are budget-friendly and Ferodo and OEM-spec drums are widely available through our supplier network. Labour is typically two to three hours a pair including shoes and fresh springs. Send your VIN for a free quote.
What are the symptoms of worn brake drums?
Scoring grooves inside the drum cause a pulse through the pedal under braking, plus scraping noises, squeal and an inefficient handbrake. In the rain the noise often worsens. Hyundai auto-adjuster failure is a well-known drum-killer in SA.
Which Hyundai models have rear drum brakes?
Entry-level i10, i20 grades, plus older Atos, Getz and the base Tucson all use rear drums. Higher trims and all Accent/Creta/Santa Fe rears switched to discs long ago. Always check your exact VIN as some i20 N Line trims have rear discs.
How long do Hyundai brake drums last?
Commonly 100,000 to 150,000 km in typical SA conditions — about twice the life of the shoes inside them. Drums last longer when the automatic adjuster is working; Hyundai's auto-adjuster is a known weak point, so service the mechanism every pad change.
Where can I buy Hyundai brake drums in South Africa?
We source drums nationally through our supplier network, including Ferodo and OEM-spec units plus strip-yard specialists. I20/i20 drums are common stock; older Atos/Getz drums often need ordering. Send us your VIN for a same-day quote.
