Navistar’s private-label International brake drums are manufactured to the standards of its own OE specifications and are the same drums that will be used at a factory production level on many of the company’s truck models. Manufactured to SAE and ASTM standards, the brake drums are subjected to stringent quality audits for both the product and its manufacturing process.
Many models feature machined-to-balance engineering and lean manufacturing techniques to yield 2 to 4 pounds in weight savings per drum and improved heat dissipation for longer life expectancy through an improved heat transfer process and anti-corrosion protection.
