WHEEL CYLINDERS

What is a Brake Wheel Cylinder all about? 
Brake wheel cylinders push the brake shoes against the brake drum, causing friction that slows down the car. They are located in the rear brake system, inside the brake drums. Over time, wheel cylinder seals may wear out and start leaking brake fluid, reducing the effectiveness of brakes.

Keep in mind 
Brake Wheel cylinders are replaced in pairs. Both rear tires will get new cylinders.

Our recommendation: 
It is a good idea to get the brake wheel cylinders inspected once every year. You should get your brake system inspected immediately if the brake-warning light is on.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Brake Wheel Cylinder?
  • Brake pedal go all the way to the floor.
  • Noise from rear brakes.
  • Fluid leaking underneath the car near rear tires.

How it's done:
  • Inspect rear wheel cylinders for leakage.
  • Inspect rear brake shoes and hardware.
  • Replace wheel cylinders if found faulty.
  • Adjust rear brakes.
  • Lube backing plate.
  • Make sure axle seals are not leaking into brake drums.
  • Bleed entire brake system.
  • Perform a brake inspection, including test drive.
