What Are Hyundai i10 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.

i10 Brake Drums: what actually decides fitment
Sold here across PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, the i10 is not one car for parts purposes — it is several.The original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from.
- 1
Find the generation code on your i10 — it appears on the VIN plate and on the original registration paperwork.
- 2
Confirm the engine family. The i10 ran Epsilon 1.1 (PA), Kappa 1.25 (Grand i10) and Kappa 1.2 (AI3) in this market.

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 i10shares the Kappa petrol family with the Kia Picanto — which widens where we can look when local stock is thin.
In South Africa the i10 is mostly first cars, driving-school fleets and short-hop city work, so components see far more cold starts per thousand kilometres than the odometer suggests. That is the wear pattern we stock and source against.
Hyundai i10 Brake Drums FAQs
Will brake drums from another i10 fit mine?
Not automatically. The i10 sold in South Africa as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, and the original PA i10 and the later Grand i10 are separate platforms with separate parts catalogues — "i10" on its own is not enough to order from. 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 i10 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 i10 ran as PA, then the Grand i10 BA, then AI3, 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.
