Push the rear brake shoes firmly against the drum with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W10588. This hydraulic wheel cylinder mounts at the rear drum brakes and uses brake-fluid pressure to drive its pistons and the brake shoes outward against the drum. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for a long list of classic Mopar cars and trucks, including the 1950-1955 Chrysler New Yorker, 1952-1955 DeSoto Firedome, 1949-1956 Dodge Coronet and 1953-1954 Plymouth Belvedere — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 1946-1956 Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge and Plymouth applications ([All] engines).
Built to match the original wheel cylinder's fit, function and performance on the listed applications, and tested for quality assurance. These install as a left/right pair — this listing is for one cylinder (package contains 1); replace both sides together as a matched pair for even, balanced braking. Made in China.
