Wheel Cylinders

The most frequently replaced part of the hydraulic system is the wheel cylinder - this is nothing to do with the quality of the original part but is a reflection of the environment in which it operates and the role that it fulfils.

With most modern braking systems, greater demand is placed on the front discs and calipers rather than on the rear braking system. Over a period of time this results in the natural deterioration of the seals and rubber boots, and consequently the wheel cylinder leaks.
Delphi Lockheed wheel cylinders, utilise the latest seal designs and materials for extended product life and maximum braking performance. Increasingly, vehicle manufacturers are specifying wheel cylinders with integral valves as original fitment. These give the vehicle manufacturers an advantage in terms of weight, cost and safety.
