Rear Brake Cylinder Assembly
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Rear Brake Cylinder Assembly, also known as the brake wheel cylinder, is a vital part of the braking system in commercial trucks. It is responsible for converting hydraulic pressure into mechanical force, which in turn applies the brake shoes to the drum. The Rear Brake Cylinder Assembly is made up of a cylinder body, piston, and seals. When the brake pedal is pressed, hydraulic fluid is forced into the cylinder, causing the piston to move and push the brake shoes against the drum. This creates friction, which slows down or stops the vehicle. The Rear Brake Cylinder Assembly is a critical component of the braking system, as it ensures that the vehicle can come to a safe and controlled stop. It is important to regularly inspect and maintain the Rear Brake Cylinder Assembly, as worn or damaged parts can lead to decreased braking performance and potentially dangerous situations on the road. If you notice any signs of brake issues, such as squeaking or grinding noises, decreased braking power, or a soft or spongy brake pedal, it is important to have your brakes inspected by a qualified mechanic and replace any worn or damaged parts, including the Rear Brake Cylinder Assembly.
