Description

The Wabco 4230560012 Repair Kit Servo 24 is designed to restore the functionality of servo systems within air brake systems. This kit is used in the brake controls of various commercial vehicles and trailers, specifically for repairing brake calipers. It ensures optimal braking performance and reliability by replacing worn or damaged components, contributing to increased safety and reduced maintenance costs. The dimensions of this repair kit are 60 x 220 x 210 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gets your parking brake working correctly again. Specifically, it rebuilds the servo – that’s the unit that mechanically applies the parking brake when you pull the lever. The kit includes new diaphragms, seals, and sometimes other small parts inside the servo. It’s all about restoring the vacuum assistance that makes your parking brake easy to use and hold. The servo sits right in the system between your parking brake lever and the rear calipers. It takes a little pull on the lever and multiplies that force using vacuum from the engine. Without it working right, you’ll need a lot more effort to engage the brake, and it might not hold properly, especially on a hill. It’s an important piece of your overall brake system, even though it’s only for parking.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, a faulty servo can lead to a few problems. You’ll notice if your parking brake takes a lot more effort to pull up, or if it doesn’t seem to hold very well, especially when the car is loaded or on a slope. That’s a safety issue, obviously. A leaking servo also means the vacuum system isn’t working as it should, which can sometimes affect other things. This kit is a good way to get everything back to normal without replacing the whole servo unit, which can be pretty pricey. You can find a good selection of these at places like Fixparts Online, and they’re generally a pretty straightforward repair if you're comfortable working on brakes.
