Wabco 4214100012 Repair Kit

Description

This Wabco Repair Kit (MPN: 4214100012) is designed for use in brake systems, specifically as a component within the slave cylinder. It's a crucial part of maintaining hydraulic pressure and ensuring proper brake function. This kit is manufactured to OE specification, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance, contributing to improved braking responsiveness and overall system longevity. The dimensions of the kit are 98 x 78 x 67 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically rebuilds the part of your braking system that takes the pressure from your master cylinder – that's the one you push when you hit the brakes – and turns it into the actual force that pushes on the brake shoes or pads. It includes new seals, pistons, sometimes boots, everything you need to overhaul the slave cylinder itself. It doesn’t include the cylinder housing, just the parts inside that wear out. Think of it like this: your master cylinder is the brain sending the signal, and the slave cylinder is the muscle actually doing the stopping. It’s located at each wheel – so if you’re seeing a leak near one of your wheels, or you're having trouble getting a good pedal feel, that's a key indicator. It takes hydraulic pressure and converts it into mechanical movement to push the brakes.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If the seals in the slave cylinder fail, you lose brake pressure at that wheel. That means longer stopping distances, potentially pulling to one side when you brake, or even complete brake failure at that wheel. You’ll notice if your brake pedal feels spongy, or if it goes almost to the floor before the brakes engage. Replacing these parts – rebuilding the cylinder – prevents those issues. A leaking or failing slave cylinder is a serious safety concern, and it’s a relatively inexpensive fix compared to dealing with a bigger problem down the road. You can often find these repair kits, and everything else you need, over at Fixparts Online – they’ve got a pretty good selection.
