The wheel brake cylinder is a critical component of your vehicle's drum brake system. It plays a vital role in converting hydraulic pressure, generated by the brake pedal, into mechanical force that pushes the brake shoes against the drum. This friction is what slows and stops your vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, the master cylinder sends brake fluid under pressure to the wheel brake cylinder. Inside the cylinder, pistons are forced outwards, pushing the brake shoes outward. These shoes then make contact with the rotating brake drum, creating the necessary friction to decelerate the wheel. Over time, wheel brake cylinders can wear out or develop leaks due to exposure to heat, moisture, and brake fluid. Signs of a failing wheel brake cylinder include a spongy brake pedal, reduced braking performance, or brake fluid leaks around the wheel assembly. Replacing a faulty cylinder is essential for maintaining safe and reliable braking. This PEUGEOT/CITROEN Wheel Brake Cylinder (part code 440293) is designed as a direct fit for your specific vehicle, ensuring compatibility and performance that meets or exceeds original equipment standards. Trust in quality components to keep your braking system in optimal condition.
