Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder P/N:W3731
Help your rear drum brakes apply smoothly with this Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder, part number W37854 from the First Stop line, which uses hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder to push the brake shoes out against the drum. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2004 Chevrolet S10, 2003-2004 GMC Sonoma and 1990-2002 Chevrolet Astro, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.

Signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing include brake fluid seeping from the cylinder or inside the drum, fluid-soaked brake shoes, a soft or sinking pedal, and uneven braking. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Replacing the wheel cylinders on both sides of the axle together is recommended for balanced braking. Bleed the brake system after installation, following the vehicle service information.

Is this the right part for a 2003-2004 Chevrolet S10 wheel cylinder replacement?

What does a drum brake wheel cylinder do?
It takes hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and pushes its pistons outward. This forces the brake shoes against the drum to slow the wheel.
What are the signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing?
Fluid seeping from the cylinder or inside the drum, fluid-soaked shoes, a soft or sinking pedal, or uneven braking may indicate a leaking cylinder. Inspect the brakes to confirm the cause.
What are the cups and boots made of?
Dorman makes the pressure cups and boots from high-quality EPDM rubber. Each bore is surface-tested to give the cups an optimum sealing surface.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing it?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic system lets air in, so the brakes must be bled after the wheel cylinder is installed. Follow the vehicle service information for the procedure and the correct fluid.
