Product Information
This wheel cylinder from Metelli is an important component in your BMW's rear drum braking system. The wheel cylinder is responsible for ensuring that the brake shoes are in contact with the brake drum, ensuring friction and stopping power. When the brake pedal is engaged, the master cylinder sends hydraulic fluid to pistons that push the brake shoes outwards against the brake drum. Without this key component of your drum brakes, you will notice a serious deficiency in stopping power, concentrated on the rear axle.
A drum brake wheel cylinder is a hydraulic component in drum brake systems. It is mounted inside the brake drum and uses hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to push pistons outward, forcing the brake shoes against the drum surface to slow or stop the vehicle. Wheel cylinders are crucial for effective braking but can wear out over time due to heat, corrosion, and seal deterioration.
Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder Failure Symptoms- Brake fluid leaks – visible fluid around the drum or inside the wheel, often causing low brake fluid levels.
- Poor braking performance – soft brake pedal, reduced stopping power, or uneven braking.
- Contaminated brake shoes – brake fluid soaking into the shoes, leading to grabbing, pulling, or noise during braking.
