• Fits 15 x 4 inch front axle configurations for CMI and various other heavy-duty applications

ConMet Brake Drum

The ConMet Brake Drum represents a significant step forward in wheel-end technology by focusing on weight reduction and heat management. Unlike traditional heavy castings, this 15 x 4 inch drum is manufactured using a precision-machined process that ensures uniform wall thickness throughout the part. This consistency in the ConMet 10081828 prevents the "hot spots" that typically cause drums to expand unevenly and vibrate during heavy braking. Because the TruTurn design is inherently balanced from the factory, it eliminates the need for weld-on weights, which can often fall off and cause long-term steering instability. The result is a lighter, cooler-running drum that helps increase fuel efficiency while providing a smooth, predictable feel at the brake pedal. This specialized front-wheel drum is an excellent solution for operators who want to reduce maintenance costs by extending the life of their brake linings.
