What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

A brake wheel cylinder is part of a drum brake system. When you press the brake pedal, hydraulic pressure is sent to the wheel cylinder, which pushes the brake shoes outward against the brake drum to slow the vehicle.

Should I replace both front wheel cylinders?

It's generally recommended to replace both front wheel cylinders at the same time. This helps ensure that the braking force is applied evenly to both sides of the vehicle, leading to more consistent and predictable stopping.

Does this wheel cylinder come with brake shoes or hardware?

This product is for the brake wheel cylinder only. Brake shoes, springs, clips, and other hardware are sold separately and are not included with this part.

Product Details

If you're working on the front brakes of your 1964-1970 Volkswagen Transporter, this DFC brake wheel cylinder is what you need for the left side. This part is a crucial component in your vehicle's drum brake system, as it uses hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal to push the brake shoes outward against the drum, creating the friction needed to slow down and stop your van.

DFC builds these wheel cylinders to meet the original specifications for your classic Transporter. It's a well-built replacement that ensures the brake fluid is properly contained and directed to activate the brake shoes. Having a properly functioning wheel cylinder is key to consistent and safe braking performance, especially on a vehicle like the Type 2 where reliable stopping power is essential.

When you're rebuilding your drum brakes, it's always a good idea to replace both front wheel cylinders at the same time to ensure even braking on both sides. This cylinder is designed for a direct fit, making installation straightforward when you're already in there doing the brake work.
