Rebuild your rear drum brakes with the Dorman First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W37349), a direct-fit rear wheel cylinder for a long run of rear-drum Volkswagen vans. It drops in on the 1972-2001 Volkswagen Combi, 1972-1979 and 1985-1991 Volkswagen Transporter, 1973-2001 Volkswagen Panel, 1977-1978 Volkswagen Hormiga, 1980-1991 Volkswagen Vanagon, and 1995-1996 Volkswagen Caravelle (All engines). Mounted in the rear drum brake, it uses hydraulic brake fluid pressure to push the brake shoes outward against the drum.
Signs the original may need replacing include brake fluid weeping at the wheel cylinder, damp or contaminated shoes, and a soft or sinking pedal. If a leaking or seized wheel cylinder is the cause, this replaces it. Each listed application uses two rear wheel cylinders (one per side); this listing supplies one, so order two to service both sides as a matched pair. Country of origin: China.
