The minimum thickness of brake shoes on a 2002 Ford Focus LX is 0.32 inches. Whey they fall below this thickness, they lose much of their stopping power.
Depends on which vehicle. Most regular cars around 10mm. when new. Max wear is down to 2 mm. Any vehicle.
The make and model of truck doesn't matter.. FMCSA dictates that it cannot be less than 3/16" thick at the center for shoes with a continuous lining, and 1/4" inch at the center for systems which use two separate shoes.
If the brake shoes measure less than 4/32nds thickness, if cracking or warping is observed on the brake drums, if the brake shoes and/or drums become coated in oil (as is what happens when a wheel seal goes bad), or if you hear escaping from the brake chambers when the brakes are released, then you know at least one component in the brake system is bad.
Guideline when replacing Honda Rear Drum Shoes over 2mm or 3/32": okay at 1.01mm to 2mm or 2/32" to 3/32": you might considering replacing very soon at 1mm or 2/32" or less: get those rear drum shoes replaced immediately!
Depends on what type of brakes you have. On medium- and heavy duty commercial trucks with S-cam foundation brakes, you must have at least 4/32nds of thickness on two piece brake shoes at the center.
Remove the tire and wheel from your Mitsubishi. Remove the brake spring and the brake caliper. The brake shoes will come off. Reverse the process to install your new brake shoes.
