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

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