When hydraulic pressure needs to push the brake shoes out against the drum, the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W72258 is the front-right unit that converts line pressure into shoe-actuating force. This direct-replacement cylinder is engineered to match the fit, function and performance of the original on the listed vehicles, and it slots into a wide range of vintage Ford, Edsel, Mercury and International models — including the 1957-1958 Ford Fairlane, 1958-1959 Edsel Corsair, 1957-1960 Mercury Monterey and 1971-1973 International 1010. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of 39 applications.
- Cast-iron body: a cast-iron cylinder with a 1.125 in inside diameter bore that is surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups.
- EPDM rubber cups and boots: made with high-quality EPDM rubber cups and boots for long-lasting performance.
- Bleeder screw included: ships with a bleeder screw (bleeder screw cap not included) and a 3/8-24 UNF inlet thread.
Replacing the wheel cylinder while you service the drum brakes is a cost-effective way to help restore proper hydraulic actuation. If leaking fluid behind the drum, a spongy pedal, or uneven braking traces back to a failed wheel cylinder, this unit replaces it. Country of origin: China.
