Keep your drum brakes applying evenly with the Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder W34876 from the First Stop line, which turns hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into the outward push that presses the brake shoes against the drum. This rear wheel cylinder fits many vehicles, among them the 1979 Ford Mustang, 1998-2002 Ford Ranger and 1983-1986 Ford LTD. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.

  • Ideal replacement: Engineered as a direct match for the original drum brake wheel cylinder on the listed applications, designed to duplicate the original cylinder's fit, function and performance.
  • Cost-effective fix: Replacing the cylinder while the drum brakes are already apart is a quick, practical way to help maintain brake performance.
  • Quality materials: Built with high-quality EPDM rubber cups and boots.
  • Professionally tested: The cylinder bores are surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups, and the cylinder is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.

Signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing include brake fluid seeping from the boots or onto the backing plate, a soft or sinking pedal, or the vehicle pulling to one side while braking. If a leaking or sticking wheel cylinder is the cause, W34876 replaces it. Replacing the cylinders on both rear sides together is recommended for balanced braking. Bleed the brake system after installation as directed by the vehicle service information.
