Product Details

When you're working on the brakes for your classic Cadillac or Pontiac, a wheel cylinder is a key component. This DFC wheel cylinder is what helps push your brake shoes out against the drum when you press the pedal. It's designed to fit the rear left or front left side of many vehicles, including models like the 1958-1964 Cadillac DeVille and the 1941 Pontiac Torpedo.

This part is built to be a direct replacement for the original equipment. It's a well-made piece that should fit right into your existing brake system. Making sure your wheel cylinders are in good shape is important for consistent braking performance. If you're noticing a spongy pedal or uneven braking, a worn-out wheel cylinder could be the culprit.
