Lincoln Town Car Wheel Cylinder

The Wheel Cylinder in Lincoln Town Car vehicles is part of the hydraulic drum brake system by applying pressure on the brake shoes to con to the brake drum and there by stopping the vehicle through friction. This component functioning in a similar way to a slave cylinder is designed with a plunger, pistons and rubber seals. Unlike earlier types that are developed using cast iron, the modern wheel cylinders are developed using aluminum primarily to resist rust and corrosion. A wheel cylinder may develop a leak, and this formation weakens the brake performance, and the only solution is either to replace the wheel cylinder or to reconstruct it. Coalescing of wheel cylinder usually includes cylinder, pistons, rubber cups, and a spring, while the mechanism of operation involves the pistons extending when brake pressure is presented, which in turn is used to press the shoes to the drum. Since wheel cylinders are core components of service brakes and parking brake, they require regular inspection and maintenance before it is too late for a safe and secure ride on the road.
