You should use the 'make model tool' provided on the product page. If you are still unsure, please contact us with your vehicle's specific details (make, model, year, VIN) to confirm fitment.
What material is the Quinton Hazell BWC3098 made from?
This wheel cylinder is constructed from durable grey cast iron.
What is the piston diameter of this wheel cylinder?
The piston diameter for this model is 18mm.
Can this wheel cylinder be used on both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles?
Yes, this component is classified for use in both passenger and LCV vehicles, provided it is compatible with the specific make and model.
What are the thread size and mounting bore distance?
The thread size is 3/8 24 UNF, and the mounting bores distance is 9mm.
What should I do if I suspect my wheel cylinder is leaking?
If you notice brake fluid leaks around the wheel assembly or experience a spongy brake pedal, you should have the brake system inspected immediately. A leaking wheel cylinder typically requires replacement.
Are there specific tools needed for installation?
Standard brake service tools are required, including wrenches for brake lines, a brake caliper spreader (if applicable), a brake fluid bleeder kit, and potentially a brake shoe retracting tool. Always refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific procedures.
Troubleshooting
Brake pedal feels spongy or goes to the floor.
This often indicates air in the brake lines or a fluid leak. Ensure the wheel cylinder is properly installed, the brake system is correctly bled, and check for any leaks around the cylinder and brake lines.
Brake fluid leak detected at the wheel cylinder.
Inspect the cylinder seals and boots for damage. If the cylinder body is compromised or seals are faulty, the wheel cylinder needs to be replaced.
Uneven braking between left and right rear wheels.
Check the wheel cylinder on both sides for equal operation. Uneven wear or a malfunctioning cylinder on one side can cause this issue. Ensure brake drums and shoes are also in good condition.
Difficulty in bleeding the brake system.
Ensure all connections are tight and there are no air leaks. Verify the brake fluid reservoir is adequately filled. If problems persist, re-check the installation of the wheel cylinder.
