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

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