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

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