The Wheel Cylinder in Ford Ranger is a hydraulic drum brake system and finds its utility in applying pressure on the brake shoes to the brake drum for effective and efficient braking system. Among them is a system through which hydraulic pressure actuates or thrusts pistons located within the cylinder outwards thus compressing the shoes or clad tightly against the drum. The construction of the Ford Ranger Wheel Cylinder generally composes a central cylinder, two reciprocating piston along with rubber seal and an expander spring while newer versions may be composed of aluminum to prevent rust as compared to earlier cast iron Wheels Cylinder. For the past few years, Wheel Cylinder styles used in Ford Ranger vehicles are the single-piston style and dual single-piston styles. Despite the fact that both types of design have the same basic function, the differences will have an impact on the performance and maintenance. There must be periodic checks because you may find that the Wheel Cylinder has developed leaks or corrosion, thus it will require either refurbishing or replacement since this makes it dangerous to drive with a weak braking force.
