What Are the Symptoms of a Damaged Brake Wheel Cylinder?
1 Answers
Automobile brake wheel cylinder damage symptoms include soft brakes, brake failure, and brake pulling. Soft Brakes: When pressing the brake pedal, if you notice the braking feel is significantly softer and the stability decreases with repeated presses, it may indicate poor sealing of the master cylinder or wheel cylinder pistons, or a rupture somewhere in the brake lines causing oil leakage. In this case, check for any signs of brake fluid leakage. Brake Failure: If you experience a sudden momentary loss of braking while applying the brakes, check the brake fluid level first, then inspect the master cylinder, wheel cylinder, and brake lines for any traces of brake fluid. If present, it indicates severe oil leakage from the wheel cylinder or master cylinder, requiring immediate repair. Brake Pulling: If the car pulls to one side during braking, it is likely due to rust in the wheel cylinder or expansion of one of the pistons inside. This issue must be addressed promptly as controlling the direction during pulling is difficult, especially in cars without ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), posing a certain danger.
