For commercial truck operators, braking system integrity is the foundation of safety and operational reliability. As a trusted supplier of high-performance Foton truck parts, we present the essential Brake Shoe, precisely identified by the official OEM part number 99000340027. This component is the core friction-carrying element within the drum brake systems of many FOTON trucks, directly responsible for generating the stopping force that slows and halts your vehicle. The genuine brake shoe, part number 99000340027, is engineered for durability, optimal heat dissipation, and perfect compatibility, ensuring consistent braking performance under the demanding conditions of commercial transport.

The Brake Shoe, part number 99000340027, is the fundamental component upon which the friction material (lining) is mounted. In a drum brake system, these curved metal shoes are positioned inside a rotating brake drum.
When the brake pedal is applied, hydraulic pressure from the wheel cylinder forces the shoes outward, pressing the bonded or riveted friction lining against the inner surface of the drum. The resulting friction converts the vehicle’s kinetic energy into heat, slowing the rotation of the wheel and axle. The structural integrity of the shoe itself, part 99000340027, is critical, as it must withstand immense mechanical forces and high temperatures without warping or failing.
This component is typically used on the rear axles of FOTON trucks, where drum brakes are favored for their durability, effective parking brake function, and resistance to environmental contamination compared to disc brakes in certain applications.
The 99000340027 component is more than a simple metal arc. It is a carefully engineered assembly. The main body, or “table,” is the curved steel platform to which the friction lining is attached.
At each end, the shoe features precisely formed heels or pads that make contact with the wheel cylinder pistons on one end and the anchor pin on the other. These contact points are often reinforced for durability. The shoe also has strategically placed holes or slots for the hold-down pins, return springs, and self-adjuster mechanism (if equipped).
High-quality shoes like part 99000340027 are often coated with a corrosion-resistant finish to prevent rust, which can cause the shoe to stick to the backing plate or drum, leading to dragging brakes and uneven wear.
Brake shoes, including part number 99000340027, are wear items. As the friction lining wears down, the metal shoe itself may eventually contact the brake drum, causing severe damage, scoring the drum, and drastically reducing braking efficiency.
Driving with excessively worn shoes is extremely dangerous. It increases stopping distances, can lead to brake failure, and will result in costly damage to the brake drums. Regular inspection of lining thickness is a mandatory part of commercial vehicle maintenance.
Brake shoes should always be replaced in axle sets (both wheels on the same axle) to ensure balanced braking. Using the genuine FOTON part, 99000340027, guarantees that the new shoes have the same specifications and performance characteristics as the originals, maintaining the vehicle’s designed braking balance.
The table below details the core technical parameters for the genuine FOTON Brake Shoe. This information is vital for parts identification and system understanding.

Replacing the brake shoe, part number 99000340027, is a task for skilled mechanics. The process involves safely lifting and supporting the truck, removing the wheel and brake drum to access the brake assembly.
Before disassembly, it is helpful to note the arrangement of springs and hardware. Special brake spring tools are recommended for safe removal. The old shoes are taken off, and the backing plate contact points, anchor pin, and wheel cylinder should be cleaned and inspected for wear or corrosion.
The new shoes, 99000340027, are then installed along with new return springs, hold-down kits, and any other worn hardware. It is crucial to lubricate the contact points on the backing plate and anchor pin with high-temperature brake grease to ensure smooth operation and prevent noise. The brake drum must be inspected for wear and scored; an out-of-round or scored drum must be machined or replaced.
Proper break-in (bedding) of new brake shoes, including part 99000340027, is essential for optimal performance and longevity.
Initial Bedding Process: After installation, perform 20-30 moderate brake applications from approximately 50 km/h to 10 km/h. Avoid coming to a complete stop or holding the brakes during this process. Allow adequate cooling time between applications. This process transfers an even layer of friction material onto the drum surface.
Regular Inspection Schedule: Incorporate brake inspection into routine maintenance. Check lining thickness through the drum’s inspection hole or by removing the drum. Replace the shoe assembly well before the lining wears down to the rivets or within 2mm of the shoe table.
System Health Check: When servicing brakes, always check wheel cylinder operation for leaks, ensure brake fluid is clean and at the correct level, and verify that the self-adjuster mechanism (if present) is functioning correctly. Address any issues immediately.
Avoid Contamination: Keep brake components clean. Oil, grease, or brake fluid on the friction lining will destroy its effectiveness. If contaminated, the entire shoe assembly (part 99000340027) must be replaced.
Understanding how brake shoes fail helps in proactive maintenance. The most common failure is normal wear of the friction lining. However, other issues can affect the shoe itself, part number 99000340027.
Improper installation or lack of lubrication can cause the shoe to bind on the backing plate, leading to uneven wear, brake drag, and overheating. A bent or warped shoe, often from extreme overheating, will cause pulsation and poor brake feel.
Corrosion can cause the shoe to stick to the backing plate or drum, especially after periods of inactivity. Unusual noises like squealing (often from high-frequency vibration) or grinding (metal-on-metal contact) are clear indicators that the brakes, including shoe 99000340027, require immediate attention.
Using the exact OEM brake shoe 99000340027 is a critical safety decision. Aftermarket shoes may have slight variations in curvature, steel gauge, or heat treatment that can affect performance.
These variations can lead to uneven contact with the drum, reducing braking efficiency and causing pulsation. The quality of the lining attachment (rivets or bond) is also assured with the genuine part, preventing separation under stress.
For fleet managers and owner-operators, the genuine FOTON part ensures consistent, predictable braking behavior across all vehicles, which is essential for safety protocols and driver confidence. The part number 99000340027 is your guarantee of this quality.
The brake shoe 99000340027 is designed for specific FOTON truck models and axle configurations. Using the correct part is non-negotiable for safety and performance.
Always verify compatibility using your vehicle’s VIN or consult a detailed parts catalog. Brake shoes are not universal; differences in width, diameter, and mounting design are common. Installing an incorrect shoe can lead to poor braking, damage to the drum, and potential mechanical interference.
