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 and can save you labor down the road if the other side fails soon after.

What does a wheel cylinder do?

The wheel cylinder is a key component in drum brake systems. When you apply the brakes, hydraulic pressure forces pistons inside the cylinder to extend, pushing the brake shoes outward to contact the brake drum and slow the vehicle.

Does this wheel cylinder come with brake shoes or drums?

This part is just the rear wheel cylinder. You will need to purchase brake shoes and brake drums separately if you plan to replace those components as well.
