Dodge Neon Wheel Cylinder
The Wheel Cylinder of mechanical vehicles particularly the Dodge Neon is an element required in hydraulic drum brake system The major function of the Wheel Cylinder is to apply pressure on the brake shoes in order to get in touch with the brake drum to enable stopping. It works using hydraulic pressure which lift the pistons that are inside the cylinder thus moving the shoes to rest on the drum. The Wheel Cylinder is made up of a body of a cylinder, two pistons one of which has rubber seals, and an expander spring In the modern models the Wheel Cylinder is made of aluminum because of its rust resistance as compared to older models made of cast iron. Gradually, the Wheel Cylinder may rust and therefore poor braking takes place as a result of leakage from the moisture in the brake fluid. It is possible to replace Wheel Cylinders in a Dodge Neon, or to have the old ones rebuilt, although it's necessary to purchase a rebuild kit that will contain new seals and springs. If brake shoes are replaced, then it is wise to review the Wheel Cylinder, new shoes jut the pistons deeper into the bore and if the cylinder is rusted, the seals will leak. This disc with drum brake combination offers enough dependability to the Dodge Neon's braking mechanism, thanks to proper maintenance.

Dodge Neon Wheel Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What should be considered when overhauling a wheel cylinder on Dodge Neon?A: If an overhaul is indicated, usually due to fluid leakage or sticky operation, explore all options before beginning the job. New wheel cylinders are available, making this task quite easy. If you choose to rebuild the wheel cylinder, ensure a rebuild kit is available beforehand. Never overhaul just one wheel cylinder; always rebuild both simultaneously. To remove the wheel cylinder, first take off the brake shoes, then unscrew the brake line fitting from the rear of the wheel cylinder. Use a flare-nut wrench if available to avoid rounding off the corners on the fitting, and do not pull the metal line out of the wheel cylinder to prevent bending. Next, remove the two bolts securing the wheel cylinder to the brake backing plate and take out the wheel cylinder. Plug the end of the brake line to prevent fluid loss and dirt entry. For disassembly, remove the rubber dust boot from each end of the cylinder, then push out the two pistons, cups, and cup expanders along with the spring assembly. Discard the rubber parts and use new ones from the rebuild kit during reassembly. Inspect the pistons for scoring and scuff marks; if any are found, replace the wheel cylinder. Check the inside of the cylinder bore for score marks and corrosion; honing may restore it slightly, but replacement is recommended. If the cylinder is in good condition, clean it with brake system cleaner, remove the bleeder screw, and ensure the hole is clean. Lubricate the cylinder bore with clean brake fluid, then insert one of the new rubber cups with the lip facing in. Install the cup expander and spring assembly from the other side, followed by the remaining cup in the cylinder bore, then install the pistons and boots. For installation, reverse the removal steps, attaching the brake line to the wheel cylinder before installing the mounting bolts, and tighten the line fitting after securing the wheel cylinder mounting bolts. Use a flare-nut wrench if available to ensure a secure fit. Finally, install the brake shoes and brake drum, and bleed the brake system. Do not drive the vehicle in traffic until brake operation has been thoroughly tested.
