In New York State, the minimum thickness for rear brake shoes during an inspection is typically 1/8 inch (or approximately 3.2 mm). If the brake shoes are worn down to this thickness or less, they must be replaced to pass the inspection. Additionally, inspectors may also consider the overall condition of the braking system, including any signs of damage or uneven wear.
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.
The minimum thickness for rear brake shoes on a 2005 Ford Escape is typically around 1/16 of an inch (approximately 1.5 mm). It's important to regularly check the brake shoes for wear and replace them if they are at or below this thickness to ensure optimal braking performance and safety. Always refer to the vehicle’s service manual for specific recommendations and guidelines.
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.
Start with an inspection and adjustment of the parking brake shoes by removing the rear brake rotors. If the brake shoes are good and they are adjusted up and you still need more adjustment, make final adjustments on the brake cables under the drivers side of the vehicle.

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!
Hello. I have a 1999 Mercury Sable. I took it for inspection and was rejected. The mechanic said I needed both front brake pads and both rear brake shoes also a master cylinder. Could you give me an estimate on the labor for all of this. I already bought the parts. Thanks
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.
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.
The simplest way to fit rear brake shoes to your 1996 vehicle is to purchase the appropriate brake shoes. The appropriate brake shoes will automatically fit perfectly.
