Wheel brake cylinder leaking

Over time, the wheel brake cylinder can leak. This brake cylinder works on the basis of brake fluid. As soon as the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is pumped towards the brake system. This puts pressure on the wheel brake cylinder, which then pushes the brake shoe against the drum. Due to wear or age, the brake cylinder can start to leak. In this case, the braking force will be greatly reduced. If you notice that the braking power of the car is decreasing, be sure to check the brake parts and replace or overhaul them if necessary. A leaking wheel brake cylinder can also be recognized by a sharply falling brake fluid level. You may find puddles of brake fluid under the rear of the car. Also, the car will tend to pull to one side when braking when a cylinder is leaking. This is because one side of the car now has less braking power.

Rebuild wheel brake cylinder

There are rubbers at the ends of the wheel brake cylinder. These are also called the bellows. In the event of a leak in the brake cylinder, you can choose to rebuild the cylinders. This means that the rubbers at the ends of the cylinder are replaced. These rebuild kits are especially suitable if you have an older car model, for which new wheel brake cylinders are scarce. In the case of newer car models, we advise you to replace a leaking brake cylinder in its entirety so that you can move forward for a while!

Replace wheel brake cylinder

You can replace a wheel brake cylinder yourself. This does require some technical insight and some material. For example, consider axle stands or a jack. The wheels of the car have to come off the ground so that the wheel in question can be removed. This gives you good access to the brake drum and the cylinder and you can mount the new brake cylinder in a controlled manner. We recommend that you replace the wheel brake cylinders per axle. Wear on the wheel brake cylinders is often the same. This prevents the car from having to be on the bridge again in a short time!

Wheel brake cylinder

The wheel brake cylinder of the car is part of the braking system. This brake cylinder is applicable to vehicles with drum brake. The drum brake has generally been applied to older car models or lightweight car models. When you press the brake pedal, the wheel brake cylinders will cause the brake shoe to be pushed against the brake drum. This resistance then causes the car to slow down. A properly functioning wheel brake cylinder is therefore of great importance for the safety of you and your fellow road users. At Winparts you can buy brake cylinders from quality brands such as Febi, TRW and Delphi. Select the car model on the website and the correct car parts will then be displayed.
