Keep your rear drum brakes applying firmly and evenly with the Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder, part number W610018 from the Dorman - First Stop line. It is a direct-fit rear replacement for the 2000-2002 Subaru Legacy and 2000-2002 Subaru Outback. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
When you press the brake pedal, the wheel cylinder turns hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into outward force on its pistons, which push the brake shoes against the drum. Dorman engineered this unit as a direct match for the original wheel cylinder's fit, function and performance on the listed applications. It is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.
- Direct replacement: specifically engineered as a direct match for the original drum brake wheel cylinder on the listed vehicles.
- EPDM rubber cups and boots: the pressure cups and boots are made with high-quality EPDM rubber.
- Surface-tested bores: each cylinder bore is surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups.
- Cost-effective brake service: installing a new cylinder while the drum brakes are already apart is a cost-effective way to help maintain brake performance.
Signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing include brake fluid seeping inside the drum, fluid-soaked brake shoes, a soft or spongy pedal, or a falling brake fluid level. Many technicians replace the wheel cylinders on both sides of the rear axle together for even, balanced braking. Bleed the brake system after installation as directed by the vehicle service information.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Dorman wheel cylinder fit the 2000-2002 Subaru Outback and 2000-2002 Subaru Legacy?
Yes. W610018 is a direct-fit rear drum brake wheel cylinder for the 2000-2002 Subaru Outback and 2000-2002 Subaru Legacy. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
What does a drum brake wheel cylinder do?
It converts hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into force on its pistons. The pistons push the brake shoes outward against the drum to slow the wheel.
What are the rubber cups and boots made of?
Dorman makes the pressure cups and boots on this wheel cylinder from high-quality EPDM rubber.
What are signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing?
Common signs include brake fluid leaking inside the drum, wet or contaminated shoes, a soft or spongy pedal, and a dropping fluid level. Inspect the brakes to confirm the cause before replacing the cylinder.
Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing it?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic line lets air into the system, so bleed the brakes after installation, following the vehicle service procedure.
