Ford Explorer Sport Trac Wheel Cylinder

The Wheel Cylinder in Ford Explorer Sport Trac cars is involved in hydraulic drum brake system where by the brake shoes are clutted against the brake drum to result to a slower or stalling of the car. This contains a piston, rubber seal, and a spring that slide back and forth and pushes force on the brake shoes. When the brakes are applied, hydraulic pressure pushes the pistons to the outwards; the return springs pull the shoes and the pistons when the brakes are released. Disadvantages of wheel cylinders include the fact that, through corrosion they can develop leaks which in turn reduce the braking force. General practice that should be adhered to is to inspect and replace the wheel cyclinder along with the brake shoes to enhance safety when driving.
