Product Details

This brake wheel cylinder is made from cast iron, a strong material that holds up well in the demanding environment of a braking system. It's a key part of your car's drum brake setup, working to push the brake shoes outward against the drum when you press the pedal. This particular cylinder fits a range of vehicles, including models like the Dodge Dart, Plymouth Valiant, and American Motors American, helping to restore reliable stopping power.

When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder forces fluid into this wheel cylinder. The fluid then pushes two opposing pistons outward, which in turn force the brake shoes to make contact with the inside of the brake drum. This friction is what slows and stops your vehicle. If your brakes feel spongy or you've noticed a leak around the wheel cylinder, replacing it is a straightforward way to get your braking system working correctly again.
