Lexus RX330 Parking Brake Shoe

The Lexus RX330 Parking Brake Shoe maintains the firm grip of the crossover in place during parking by establishing friction from within a dedicated drum surface built inside the rear rotor. Unlike service brakes, which are hydraulically driven, the Parking Brake Shoe on Lexus RX330 models is cable-driven, which pushes the lined shoe outward against the drum-in-hat rotor when the driver pulls the hand lever or presses the pedal. Earlier versions with rear drum service brakes applied the same Parking Brake Shoe, whereas later versions with rear discs applied a smaller separate assembly that was hidden inside the rotor hat. Both layouts attempt to accomplish the same thing, but disc-based systems pair the Parking Brake Shoe with an automatic adjuster system to maintain tight clearance for consistent holding power and limit the pedal travel. Some recent Lexus SUVs have introduced optional electric actuators that pull the cables or twist caliper motors when the transmission of an RX330 is placed in Park, saving drivers the need to pull it themselves, but also saving them from seized links due to lack of maintenance. Regular activation of the Parking Brake Shoe is still a good idea since even a Lexus parked on flat ground can develop rusted cables, and keeping an RX330 mechanism running ensures that it will still grip for parking on a hillside or for purposes like fast emergency stops.
