Brake wheel cylinders play a vital role in what stops your car when you engage the brakes. The wheel cylinder exerts force onto the brake shoes, pushing them into the drum and creating friction to stop your car. When you press down on the brakes in your vehicle, hydraulic pressure is created, which acts on the pistons and then exerts mechanical pressure on the brake shoes.

With age, brake wheel cylinders may start to leak. To ensure driving safety and braking performance, it's important to maintain wheel cylinders regularly. For best practice, it is recommended to replace your brake wheel cylinder when changing your brake disc or drums.

A market-leading specialist in supplying reliable braking components, Apec is a brand you can trust with over 50 years of experience in the automotive aftermarket.
