What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The wheel cylinder is a key part of your drum brake system. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces pistons inside the wheel cylinder outward. These pistons then push the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum, slowing your vehicle.

How do I know if my wheel cylinder needs replacing?

Common signs include a spongy brake pedal, the brake warning light coming on, or finding brake fluid leaking around the rear wheels, particularly near the brake drums. If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to inspect the wheel cylinders.

Does this wheel cylinder come with brake shoes or hardware?

This DFC wheel cylinder is sold individually and does not include brake shoes, springs, or other associated hardware. You will need to purchase those separately if your brake job requires them.

Product Details

When you're working on the rear brakes of your 1970 or 1971 BMW 2800CS, replacing the wheel cylinder is often a necessary step to ensure your brakes work correctly. This part is what pushes your brake shoes outward against the drum when you apply the pedal, creating the friction needed to slow down.

DFC makes this wheel cylinder to fit your specific BMW 2800CS. It's a well-built component designed to replace the original part, helping to restore your rear drum brakes to proper working order. A functioning wheel cylinder is key to consistent braking performance, so replacing a worn or leaking one is important for safety and drivability.
