Am I crazy? Why can I not find drum brakes for the back of my Jeep?

I have drum brakes on the back of my 2008 Jeep Patriot Sport ... right? I see no disc, I see no caliper ... I've changed drum brakes on every car I've ever owned -- I know what they look like!

Why is EVERYONE at the autoparts stores telling me that I have pads on the back? Someone said it was unserviceable and had to be taken to Jeep/Chrysler.

Anyone change their own rear drums that could offer me a part number or any clue where to find these brake shoes aftermarket?

Or, just tell me that I'm wrong ... anything would make more sense than what I'm hearing right now.

Thanks!
 
I think rear drums was a late 2008 change, so I looked up 2009 Patriot Sport on Rockauto.com and found all sorts of brake shoes and drums available.

RAYBESTOS Part # 919SG (Service Grade) and 919PG (Prof. Grade) $18.99/$38.79
Centric Part #11109190 $20.79
AC Delco Part #17919B $47.79

Another thing to remember is that even if you have rear disc brakes, the emergency brake mechanism is drum brakes--the drum is an integeral part of the rear disc.

Interesting, eh?

I don't even want to try to understand who came up with that.

It's called a Banksia Parking Brake, or more commonly a Drum in Hat rear disc brake. I think the first car I remember seeing it used on was an early 80's Isuzu Impulse Turbo (remember those!?). It may sound complicated, but it's way easier to work on then the rear disc brakes that had the ratcheting piston in the caliper. Besides, the park brake shoes on Drum in Hat usually last the life of the car (unless you drive with the e-brake on).
