Keep hydraulic pressure flowing to your drum brakes with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (W55890). This front-left wheel cylinder converts brake-line hydraulic pressure into the outward force that presses the drum brake shoes against the drum every time you hit the pedal. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore the original wheel cylinder's fit, function, and performance on applications such as the 1966-1970 Ford Falcon, 1967-1969 Ford Mustang, 1966-1969 Ford Ranchero, 1968-1969 Mercury Montego, and a range of Ford medium-duty trucks (C600, F-500, F-600, F-700, L800, LN600-LN8000, M-400, M-450) — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Each unit is manufactured and tested for quality assurance, and replacing the wheel cylinder while servicing the drum brakes is a fast, reliable way to help maintain brake performance. If a leaking or seized wheel cylinder is behind a low pedal or fluid on the backing plate, this replaces it. Sold individually; one wheel cylinder per package. Country of origin: China.
