GeoBrakes carries OEM-grade drum brake wheel cylinders confirmed to fit the Chevrolet Cruze Limited, the hydraulic actuators at the top of each drum brake assembly that convert brake fluid pressure into the mechanical force that pushes the Cruze Limited shoes against the drum. Available in new and remanufactured options for your Cruze Limited, every cylinder is bored to OEM specifications

The drum brake wheel cylinder on the Chevrolet Cruze Limited is the hydraulic component that actuates your Cruze Limited drum brake shoes every time you press the brake pedal. Brake fluid pressure from the master cylinder enters the Cruze Limited wheel cylinder and acts equally on two opposed pistons, pushing them outward simultaneously toward each shoe on the Chevrolet Cruze Limited. A leaking Cruze Limited wheel cylinder actively bleeds hydraulic pressure from the brake circuit and contaminates the brake shoes with fluid, both of which directly compromise your ability to stop the Chevrolet Cruze Limited.
Chevrolet Cruze Limited drum brake wheel cylinders are particularly vulnerable to corrosion in American road salt conditions. Salt water penetrates the dust boots over time on the Cruze Limited, attacking the cylinder bore surface. Once the Chevrolet Cruze Limited bore is pitted, new piston cup seals cannot maintain a leak-free seal. Internally corroded Cruze Limited cylinders must be replaced, not rebuilt. Vehicles in high-salt urban environments often require Cruze Limited wheel cylinder replacement on the same service interval as brake shoes.
GeoBrakes stocks both new OEM-specification wheel cylinders and quality remanufactured units for the Chevrolet Cruze Limited. New cylinders are the stronger choice for Cruze Limited vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured units offer excellent value for Chevrolet Cruze Limited vehicles in moderate conditions where the original bore was sound. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct Cruze Limited cylinder, right bore diameter, port location, and mounting configuration, for your Cruze Limited drum brake assembly before purchase.
Can I drive my Chevrolet Cruze Limited with a leaking wheel cylinder?
No. A leaking Cruze Limited cylinder actively loses hydraulic pressure from the brake circuit, reducing stopping force on your Chevrolet Cruze Limited over time. Brake fluid that reaches the Cruze Limited shoes renders the friction material ineffective. A leaking Chevrolet Cruze Limited wheel cylinder is an immediate safety concern that requires urgent attention.
Should I replace both wheel cylinders on my Chevrolet Cruze Limited at the same time?
Yes. If one Cruze Limited cylinder has leaked or seized due to age and corrosion, the cylinder on the opposite side of the Chevrolet Cruze Limited has experienced identical conditions and is at a similar stage of deterioration. Replacing both ensures balanced hydraulic pressure on your Cruze Limited and avoids a second service call within months.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Chevrolet Cruze Limited after replacing a wheel cylinder?
Yes. Replacing a Cruze Limited wheel cylinder opens the hydraulic circuit, allowing air to enter. After installation on the Chevrolet Cruze Limited, the entire rear brake circuit must be bled to remove all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Cruze Limited.
