Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically gives you all the small parts you need when you’re servicing your brake drums. Things like new wheel cylinder cups, springs, and sometimes even seals. It's not the drum itself, but everything inside that makes it work properly. It’s a collection of little components designed to be replaced together when you're doing a drum brake job. These parts live inside your brake drums, and they're what actually push the brake shoes out against the drum to slow the car down. The wheel cylinder uses hydraulic pressure from your brake pedal to do this, and the cups and springs within that cylinder are essential for creating that force and making sure the pressure doesn't leak past. Basically, it converts the fluid power into stopping power at the wheel.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, those little rubber cups and springs wear out over time, or can get damaged from heat and contaminants. When they do, you start losing braking efficiency – it might take longer to stop, or you’ll notice if your brake pedal feels spongy. If things get really bad, you can end up with a brake failure. Replacing these parts as a kit is the best way to ensure everything works smoothly and reliably. It's a preventative measure that keeps you safe. You can often find Repair Kit 230 on sites like Fixparts Online, they’ve got a pretty good selection. It’s much cheaper to do this maintenance than to deal with a bigger problem down the road. It acts like a shield against more expensive repairs.
