Located in the rear brake system, the brake wheel cylinder helps in slowing down your car by pushing the brake shoes against the brake drum. It is an integral component of the braking system that should always be in good condition. Like many other car parts, however, the brake wheel cylinder may wear after extended periods of use, causing the brake fluid to leak and reducing the efficiency of your car’s braking system.
Note:
Since they cannot be replaced singly, the brake wheel cylinders in both rear tires are often replaced when carrying out this service.
Check for leaks in the rear wheel cylinders
Check that the rear brake shoes and hardware are in good condition
Remove faulty brake wheel cylinders and replace with new ones
Ensure rear brakes are adjusted
Lubricate backing plate
Inspect axle seals and confirm there’s no leakage into the brake drums
Bleed the whole braking system
Test drive car to ensure the brake system is in good condition.
When the brake pedal is applied, the wheel cylinder forces pressure to the brake shoe which consequently makes contact with the brake drum, eventually bringing your car to a halt. Hence, a dysfunctional brake wheel cylinder will exert insufficient force on the brake shoe, and this will make it difficult to slow down your car when driving.
Consider replacing your ABS sensors when:
– Applying the brake pedal becomes unusually easy.
– A noise comes from the rear brakes.
– Fluid leaks are seen near the rear tires
Our Recommendation:
The brake wheel cylinders in your car should be inspected at least once every year. Also, ensure to check the brake system in the event that the warning light turns on.
