Keep the front right drum brake applying firmly with the Dorman First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W71211. It's a direct-fit replacement for a long list of 1968-1972 GM A-body cars, including the Buick GS and Skylark, Chevrolet Chevelle and El Camino, Oldsmobile Cutlass and Pontiac GTO. Built to match the original wheel cylinder's fit, function, and performance on the listed vehicles, it is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.
Mounted at the front right drum, the wheel cylinder receives pressurized brake fluid from the hydraulic system and pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum to slow the wheel. If a leaking or seized cylinder is the cause of a soft pedal or fluid at the backing plate, this replaces it.
Position: front right. Country of origin: China. Package contents: 1 drum brake wheel cylinder.
