Symptoms of a Failing Brake Wheel Cylinder in
Land Rover
2
The brake wheel cylinders are an important
component assembled along with the modern drum
brake systems in your Land Rover.
3
It is located in each wheel and is usually
positioned at the top of the wheel, above the
shoes.
4
They are the hydraulic component that extends to
press the brake shoes against the brake drum when
the pedal is pressed.

Symptoms of a failing brake wheel cylinder
6
As the brake wheel cylinders are a part of the
braking system, they are important to the overall
safety of the Land Rover.
7
Here are some of the commonly found symptoms of a
failing brake wheel cylinder in a Land Rover.
8
Spongy brake pedal
9
When the brake wheel cylinder starts to
malfunction, then one of the first symptoms
commonly associated with it is a spongy brake
pedal.
10
The pedals ability to pressurize and extend the
piston gets compromised when the wheel cylinders
develop any sort of internal or external leaks.
11
Poor brake performance
12
A bad wheel cylinder affects the pressure exerted
on the braking system and reduces the system's
ability to slow the car.
13
In case of heavy braking circumstances, the car
with poor braking performance is harder to stop.
14
Brake fluid leaks
15
The seals associated with the brake wheel
cylinders wear out and allows the brake fluid to
leak out of the system.
16
The brake fluid leaks down on the drum and brake
shoes, damaging the friction between them and
diminishing the stopping power.
17
Causes of a damaged brake wheel cylinder
18
The brake wheel cylinders pistons have internal
seals that can often leak over time, resulting in
a loss of brake fluid.
19
This is usually caused by corrosion or pitting on
the brake cylinder walls, which causes the brake
cylinder piston seals to wear over time.
20
Corrosion or pitting of the brake cylinder walls
can be caused by small amounts of water moisture
in the brake fluid.  
21
Proper maintenance of the brake wheel cylinder
22
The brake wheel cylinders do not need any special
servicing and maintenance in order to have the
vehicle retain its performance value.
23
To get the best braking response, always change
the brake fluid in time in your Land Rover.
