Keep your drum brakes applying firmly and evenly with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W40823), the front-left hydraulic cylinder that pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the front-left position on the 1960-1970 Ford Falcon, 1960-1962 Ford Ranchero, 1960-1962 Mercury Comet, 1961-1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery, 1964-1970 Ford Mustang, and 1970 Ford Maverick (All engines). It is engineered to match the original wheel cylinder's fit, function, and performance on these applications, and is manufactured and quality-tested.
Inside a drum brake, the wheel cylinder receives hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and pushes its internal pistons outward to force the shoes against the drum. Signs this cylinder may need replacing include fluid weeping behind the drum, a soft or sinking pedal, or uneven braking; if a leaking or seized wheel cylinder is the cause, this unit replaces it. Country of origin: China.
