S-cam brakes.
Disk brakes adjust themselves as they wear. Drum brakes have an automatic adjustment built into the brake system. When you back up and stop they automatically adjust themselves. If you remove the drum you will see the adjustment mechanism.
Rear drum brakes, that lock up during heartbreaking quicker than the front brakes, can be adjusted. The rear brake pads need to be backed off.
Only the rear brakes are drum brakes. The front brakes are disc brakes. To answer your question, twist the end wing nut by your drum brake. It tightens and adjusts how much you have to press on your rear brake lever.
A brake shoe is the part of a braking system which carries the brake lining in the drum brakes. It can be used in automobiles, bicycles, and other things.
Yes, the front brakes on a 1996 Geo Metro are equipped with disc brakes, not drum brakes. While there isn't a traditional adjustment for the front brakes like there is for drum brakes, you can check and adjust the brake pads and calipers for proper alignment and wear. It's important to regularly inspect the brake system and replace pads as needed to ensure optimal braking performance.
Drum brakes do not have the stopping ability of disc brakes, so no not harder, but slower.
A duo-servo drum brake system is a type of drum brake design that enhances braking efficiency by using two brake shoes that engage the drum in such a way that they assist each other during braking. When the brakes are applied, the leading shoe rotates in the direction of the wheel, which pulls the trailing shoe into greater contact with the drum, increasing the braking force. This design is commonly found in rear drum brakes of vehicles, providing better stopping power and reduced stopping distances compared to single-servo systems. The duo-servo mechanism is particularly effective during hard braking situations.
You have hydraulic brakes and air brakes. Hydraulic brakes can be drum or disc. Air brakes can be drum, disc, or wedge. On a lot of medium duty trucks and RVs, the parking brake can be a shaft brake, mounted to the back of the transmission.

The purpose of a drum brake is to come to a complete stop with any veichle that may have drum brakes in the rear of the car.
because disc brakes provide more uniform torque throughout than drum brakes during braking..
