What does a drum brake wheel cylinder do?
It converts hydraulic pressure from the brake system into mechanical force. That force pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum when the brake pedal is pressed.
Does Dorman W370042 fit a 1995-1998 Ford F-250?
Yes. The 1995-1998 Ford F-250 is a listed application, cataloged for the rear left position. It also fits models such as the 1999-2000 Ford E-350 Super Duty; see the Buyer's Guide tab for your vehicle.
What are the cups and boots made of?
The cups and boots are high-quality EPDM rubber. The cylinder bores are surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups.
What are signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing?
Common signs include brake fluid seeping at the drum, fluid-soaked shoes, a soft or low pedal, or pulling to one side when braking. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts.
Should I replace the wheel cylinder during a drum brake job?
Dorman notes that replacing it while servicing the drum brakes is a fast, cost-effective way to help maintain brake performance. Bleed the brakes afterward per the service information.
