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

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