Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder P/N:W37970
Bring firm, even stops back to your rear drum brakes with the Dorman First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (P/N W37585). Mounted at the rear brakes, it uses hydraulic pressure to push its internal cups and pistons outward, forcing the brake shoes against the drum. If a leaking or seized original cylinder is behind a soft pedal, uneven rear braking, or fluid at the backing plate, this replaces it. It drops in and is engineered to perform like the factory unit on the 1983-1987 Chevrolet Celebrity, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera and Pontiac 6000, 1984-1987 Buick Century, 1985-1986 Buick Electra, Cadillac DeVille and Fleetwood, and 1985-1986 Oldsmobile 98 (all engines) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Country of origin: China. These applications use two cylinders (one per rear wheel); this listing is for a single unit — replace both sides together for balanced braking.
