What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

A brake wheel cylinder is part of a drum brake system. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure pushes fluid into the cylinder, forcing pistons out to press the brake shoes against the drum, slowing the vehicle.

Do I need to replace both rear wheel cylinders?

It's generally recommended to replace brake components in pairs for balanced braking. If one rear wheel cylinder is worn, the other likely is too. Replacing both ensures even stopping power.

What else might I need when replacing a wheel cylinder?

When replacing a wheel cylinder, you'll typically need brake fluid, and it's a good time to inspect or replace your brake shoes and drum. You may also need brake cleaner and basic hand tools for the job.

Product Details

If you're working on the rear brakes of your 1980 or 1981 Peugeot 505, this brake wheel cylinder from DFC is what you'll need for the right side. This part is a crucial component in your drum brake system, acting like a small hydraulic cylinder that pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum when you press the brake pedal. When you apply pressure to the brake pedal, brake fluid is forced into the wheel cylinder, pushing the pistons out. These pistons then force the brake shoes to make contact with the inside of the brake drum, creating the friction needed to slow and stop your vehicle.

DFC makes this wheel cylinder to fit directly into the factory location on your 505, making installation straightforward. It's built to handle the hydraulic pressure generated by your brake system, ensuring consistent and reliable braking performance. Keeping your wheel cylinders in good working order is important for maintaining safe and effective stopping power, especially on older vehicles where parts can wear over time.
