Hyundai Brake Shoes for Sale in South Africa

Disc diameter on a Hyundai tracks the derivative rather than the model — a 1.6 and a turbo version of the same car frequently run different front brakes, and N Line derivatives differ again. In practice the decision in front of you is whether you need friction material only or the discs as well, which usually comes down to how much the current set has already been skimmed.

The derivative and whether the car has been fitted with non-standard wheels, which can rule out some caliper and disc combinations. With that we can usually confirm the right part the same day, and we will tell you whether we are quoting new, aftermarket or good used stock rather than leaving you to guess.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
