A vehicle is only as good as the components that it uses. With Apec, those components are built to OE specifications to guarantee the performance customers and installers expect with a unique aftermarket twist.
Wheel cylinders are an important part of any drum brake system. They consist of two pistons and a bore, with each piston connected to a braking force. When the brakes are activated, pressure builds up against the pistons, forcing them apart and subsequently pushing outwards on the brake shoes. This motion causes the brake shoes to press against and rotate the wheels, providing friction and slowing down the vehicle. Wheel cylinders must be kept in good condition, as any damage or wear can reduce their performance and create safety issues when driving.
Apec Wheel Cylinders are precision engineered to put perfect performance first. Whether they are subjected to extreme temperatures, torrential weather or intense driving conditions, Apec's wheel cylinders make the grade time and time again. Made with high-grade steel and aluminium, pistons and bores consistently achieve smooth and stable braking.
Like Apec's hoses, Apec Wheel Cylinders are outfitted with EPDM rubber for flexibility under intense heat, ozone and weather conditions. Once assembled, cylinders are pressure tested under industry-leading factory standards to reliably deliver braking that never disappoints.
