wait, so a car with discs in the front and drums on the rear only uses the drums as a parking break?

I don't think that's correct, but I could be wrong.

I had a 2001 Jeep Cherokee and replaced the the pads on the discs. Then, I replaced the shoes inside the rear drums. I also had to rebuild the internal components to the drum becuase I had a leak in one.

No, the drum is in addition to regular disc brakes in the back
