Review on Centric Parts 123 65040 Brake Drum by Christopher Sullivan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wouldn't recommend it. Too bad I didn't notice this drum.

Not recommended. I wish I had noticed that one drum was standard weighted and measured and the other was not metric weighted or measured otherwise I would have returned them as soon as they arrived. Sure, 230.1mm is 9.06 inches on paper, but in the real world, what kind of idiot would put together parts from different manufacturers and give them to someone to fit on each side of their car? These parts are clearly not from the same source, which is dubious since they all come out. At least one of them makes a terribly throbbing noise, sometimes even without pressing the brake pedal. I checked them and reconfigured 3 times, also following the scheme. And since one brake locks up after 40 clicks and the other after 100 clicks with new pads, I assume they are indeed different sizes. Next time I'm tempted to buy Revain car parts, I'll buy toilet paper instead. It's nice to be able to wipe your ass with your money.

Pros
  • Drums
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
