What happens if my rear brake wheel cylinder leaks?

A leaking wheel cylinder will cause brake fluid to seep out, often onto the brake shoes and drum. This reduces braking effectiveness and can lead to a spongy brake pedal. You may also notice the brake fluid level dropping in your reservoir.

Do I need to replace both rear wheel cylinders?

It's generally recommended to replace both rear wheel cylinders at the same time. This ensures even braking performance on both sides of the rear axle and prevents you from having to do the job again soon if the other side fails.

What else might I need when replacing the wheel cylinder?

When replacing a wheel cylinder, it's a good time to also inspect and potentially replace your brake shoes, springs, and adjusters. You'll also need new brake fluid to bleed the system after installation.

Product Details

This rear brake wheel cylinder from DFC is built to spec for a range of Subaru vehicles from 1974 through 1993. It's a key part of your rear drum brake system, housing the brake shoes and pushing them outward against the drum when you press the brake pedal. When this cylinder starts to leak or seize up, you'll notice a spongy brake pedal, reduced braking power at the rear, or even a parking brake that doesn't hold well.

This particular unit is designed to fit right into the existing brake drum assembly on models like the Subaru Brat, DL, GL, and Loyale. It's a well-built replacement that gets your rear brakes working correctly again, helping to restore that firm pedal feel and reliable stopping performance you expect. Replacing these is a common job when you're doing a full brake service on the rear drums.
