Key Features & Benefits

This little guy takes the air pressure from your brake system and converts it into mechanical force. Essentially, it pushes pistons out that then press the brake shoes against the inside of your brake drum. It’s how air brakes actually stop the wheels. It takes the air signal and turns it into stopping power. It's a key part of your air brake system, specifically on the wheel end. Each wheel usually has one of these – sometimes a dual one, depending on the setup – and they work in concert with everything else – the air compressor, the lines, everything – to bring the vehicle to a stop. It’s really the muscle behind the brakes on that wheel.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, without it, you have no brakes on that wheel, plain and simple. If it leaks or fails, you lose stopping power, and that's obviously a big safety issue. It acts like a shield, protecting you from not being able to stop. You’ll notice if one goes bad, because you’ll likely experience pulling to one side when braking, or a significantly longer stopping distance. These things do wear out over time, especially with heavy use, so it’s good to stay on top of maintenance. You can find replacements – good quality ones – over at Fixparts Online if you're looking. Getting the right one is crucial, so double check your vehicle specs.
