How do you fix cammed-over brakes?
I own a couple of trucks that I make deliveries in, and one of them has been having serious brake problems. I had a technician come and take a look, and they said I had cammed-over brakes. I’m not super familiar with the term, but is there any way I can fix cammed-over brakes?

Having cammed-over brakes can be a serious hazard on the road. Once it happens, you can no longer safely drive that truck.
The best solution to this problem is to have your brake shoes replaced. This process can vary depending on the type of truck you have, so it’s best to have the vehicle serviced by a professional.
Generally, to have your truck’s brake shoes replaced, you can expect to pay between $150 and $300 per axle. This price will fluctuate depending on your truck’s brake pad materials, so it’s best to find this information out and call around for quotes with several mechanics.
If the price of getting your truck’s brake shoes replaced feels a little steep, check out the

policy. The average Jerry user saves $887 a year on car insurance, which could certainly help pay for new brakes.View full answer
