What does a brake wheel cylinder do?

The wheel cylinder is part of your drum brake system. When you apply the brakes, hydraulic fluid pushes pistons inside the cylinder, which in turn forces the brake shoes outward against the brake drum to slow your vehicle.

How do I know if I need to replace my wheel cylinder?

Signs of a failing wheel cylinder include a spongy brake pedal, leaks around the rear brakes, or reduced braking performance. If you're doing a brake job, it's often recommended to replace them as a preventative measure.

Does this wheel cylinder come with brake shoes or hardware?

This part is for the wheel cylinder only. Brake shoes, springs, and other hardware are typically sold separately.

Product Details

This DFC rear brake wheel cylinder is made from cast iron, a strong material that holds up well in the harsh conditions found around your wheels. It's a key part of your Subaru's drum brake system, working with the brake shoes to create stopping power at the rear wheels. When you press the brake pedal, fluid pressure pushes the pistons inside this cylinder outward, forcing the brake shoes against the inside of the brake drum.

If you've noticed your rear brakes feeling a bit soft, or if you're doing a full brake job on your 1985-1989 Subaru DL, GL, GL-10, Loyale, or Brat, replacing the wheel cylinder is a smart move. It's a direct replacement part, meaning it's built to fit right into your existing brake system without any modifications. Keeping these cylinders in good shape ensures your rear brakes work effectively, complementing your front brakes for safe and reliable stopping.
