Help keep your drum brakes applying evenly with this Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder, part number W37636 from the First Stop line. It turns hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into the force that pushes the brake shoes out against the drum. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1998-2002 Toyota Corolla, 1983-1986 Toyota Camry and 1998-2002 Chevrolet Prizm, as a direct-fit replacement for the rear left position. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.

  • Ideal replacement: Engineered as a direct match for the original drum brake wheel cylinder in fit, function and performance on the listed applications.
  • Cost-effective fix: Dorman recommends replacing the wheel cylinder while you service the drum brakes, as a quick way to support brake performance.
  • Quality materials: Uses high-quality EPDM rubber cups and boots.
  • Professionally tested: The wheel cylinder bores are surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups. Each unit is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.

As the rubber cups inside a wheel cylinder wear, brake fluid can seep past them. Signs this part may need replacing include fluid wetness on the backing plate or inside the drum, contaminated brake shoes, a soft or sinking pedal, and uneven braking. If a leaking or sticking wheel cylinder is the cause, W37636 replaces it at the rear left position. Replacing both sides together is recommended for balanced braking. Bleed the brake system after installation, following the vehicle service information.
