What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

A brake wheel cylinder is a component in drum brake systems. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure forces the pistons inside the wheel cylinder outward, which in turn pushes the brake shoes against the rotating brake drum to slow your vehicle.

Why is this part listed with a Prop 65 warning?

This product is labeled with a California Proposition 65 warning, which indicates it may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. This is a standard warning for many automotive parts.

Do I need to replace both rear wheel cylinders at the same time?

It's generally recommended to replace wheel cylinders in pairs on the same axle. This helps ensure balanced braking performance on both sides of the vehicle, as both cylinders will have similar wear characteristics.

Product Details

DFC is known for making dependable brake components, and this rear brake wheel cylinder is no exception. If you're working on the rear brakes of your 1970-1972 Ford F-500, this part is designed to help restore proper braking function. It's a key piece in your drum brake system, helping to push the brake shoes outward against the drum when you press the pedal.

This wheel cylinder is built to fit right and perform reliably. It's a direct replacement for the original part, meaning it should install without major modifications.
