Each kit ships with a 100% fitment guarantee and free delivery across Canada on orders over $99.
A brake drum kit for the Chevrolet Volt addresses the most common brake service shortcut: replacing shoes on a worn Volt drum, or fitting new drums with glazed, worn shoes. Either combination prevents correct break-in on the Chevrolet Volt. New shoes have a specific arc radius that must contact a fresh drum surface across the full lining width on your Volt. A GeoBrakes drum kit eliminates that incompatibility by delivering matched drums and shoes confirmed for your Chevrolet Volt in a single order.
The kit for your Chevrolet Volt includes OEM-spec cast-iron brake drums at the correct inner diameter for the Volt for both left and right rear wheels, drum brake shoes with OEM-grade friction lining matched to the Chevrolet Volt drum bore and wheel cylinder specification, a brake hardware kit with return springs, hold-down hardware, and self-adjusters specific to the Volt, and drum retaining hardware where required by the Chevrolet Volt application.
Road salt and freeze-thaw cycles deteriorate every component in the Chevrolet Volt drum brake system over the same service interval. By the time a Volt drum is worn, the shoes are typically at or near minimum thickness, the hardware is corroded, and the wheel cylinder boots are deteriorating on your Chevrolet Volt. Replacing drums and shoes alone while leaving worn springs and seized adjusters on the Volt produces a service that underperforms within months.
Drum and shoe arc radius must match exactly for correct contact geometry on the Chevrolet Volt. An incorrect drum diameter or wrong-spec shoe lining for the Volt produces immediate uneven wear and noise. Every kit in the GeoBrakes catalogue is assembled for the Chevrolet Volt, drum diameter, shoe arc, and hardware spring rates all confirmed as a matched set specific to the Volt.
How do I know if I need a basic or full-service kit for my Chevrolet Volt?
A basic kit for the Chevrolet Volt is appropriate when the wheel cylinders have been recently replaced and show no signs of leaking. A full-service kit is the stronger choice during a high-mileage Volt overhaul, particularly on Canadian Chevrolet Volt vehicles with significant winter salt exposure.
Should I replace drum kits on both rear wheels of my Chevrolet Volt at the same time?
Yes. Always replace drum brake components on the Chevrolet Volt as an axle set, both left and right rear, to maintain balanced braking force. Drums and shoes at different wear stages on the Volt create uneven rear braking that pulls the vehicle to one side.
Can I install a brake drum kit on my Chevrolet Volt myself?
Rear drum brake service on the Chevrolet Volt is a moderately advanced DIY task. It requires removing the drum, dismantling the shoe assembly on the Volt, correctly routing return springs, and adjusting shoes to the correct drum clearance. A service manual specific to the Chevrolet Volt is essential.
