Keep hydraulic pressure pushing the brake shoes against the drum with this Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder from the First Stop line, part number W610162. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2016 Chevrolet Cruze, 2012-2017 Chevrolet Sonic and 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Limited. Cataloged for the rear position, left and right, it was engineered as a direct replacement to match the original wheel cylinder's fit, function and performance on these applications. It is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.
- Ideal replacement: Engineered specifically to be a direct match for the original drum brake wheel cylinder on the listed vehicles.
- Cost-effective repair: Replacing the wheel cylinder while the drum brakes are already apart is a quick, economical way to help maintain brake performance.
- Quality materials: Built with EPDM rubber cups and boots.
- Professionally tested: The cylinder bores are surface-tested to give the pressure cups an optimal sealing surface.
When you press the pedal, the wheel cylinder converts brake fluid pressure into force that pushes the shoes outward against the drum. Signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing include brake fluid seeping at the drum or backing plate, a soft or sinking pedal, a pull to one side, or a falling fluid level. Because other brake parts can cause these signs, diagnose the cause before you replace parts. Replacing the cylinders on both rear wheels together is recommended for even, balanced braking. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which vehicles does the W610162 wheel cylinder fit?
It is cataloged for the rear drum brakes of the 2010-2016 Chevrolet Cruze and the 2012-2017 Chevrolet Sonic. The "Vehicles it fits" section shows the complete fitment chart.
What does a drum brake wheel cylinder do?
It turns hydraulic pressure from the brake pedal into force that pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum. Rubber cups inside the bore seal in the brake fluid.
What are the cups and boots made of?
Dorman builds this wheel cylinder with EPDM rubber cups and boots. The cylinder bores are surface-tested to give the pressure cups an optimal sealing surface.
What are signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing?
Signs include brake fluid seeping at the drum or backing plate, a soft or sinking pedal, pulling to one side, or a dropping fluid level. Diagnose the cause first, because other brake parts can produce these signs.
Should I replace both rear wheel cylinders at once?
Replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced braking, and it is convenient while the drums are apart. Bleed the brakes after installation as the vehicle service information directs.
