🔘 Centric Parts Standard Brake Drum C-Tek 123.44022 Review

I came across these drums on recommendation. When I installed them and took them for a test drive, I found that the drums were not concentric with the bolt holes and the surface of the pads caused the car to bounce when I applied the brakes. I may have a two tier set but my first experience with these guys wasn't great so I won't be buying from them again.

Bought these for my 2001 Tacoma (123.44022), painted them, then waited until next weekend to do some work on the brakes. Guess what - they don't fit! The center hole in particular is too small and not suitable for the socket. The hole is actually elongated and obviously not machined properly. Went to local hardware store and bought a replacement - perfect fit.

Bought for neighbor's truck. I wouldn't normally buy this brand but that was all they offered at the time of delivery within the time frame we considered. In short, it deformed in an instant. 2 days max. Removed and used another more well known brand, no problems in 2 months since. You know what they say about you getting what you pay for? In this case it applies. The main problem with this drum is that it is too thin. OEM and other manufacturers are much thicker and heavier.
