Put the hydraulic push back into your rear drum brakes with the Beck/Arnley Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder 072-9859. It drops in as a direct replacement for the 2005-2020 Toyota Tacoma — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the engine-level breakdown. Mounted at the rear brake backing plate, the wheel cylinder uses hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to push its internal pistons outward, forcing the brake shoes against the drum when you press the pedal.
Signs this part may need replacing include brake fluid seeping at the backing plate or drum, a soft or sinking pedal, and reduced braking from the rear. If a leaking or seized wheel cylinder is the cause, this unit replaces it. Wheel cylinders work as a left/right pair, so inspect both sides and replace them together for even, balanced braking.
