Push the brake shoes firmly against the drum with the hydraulic muscle of the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W73609. It's a direct-fit front replacement (front left or front right) for a wide range of 1970-1973 Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth models — including the Chrysler New Yorker, Newport and Town & Country, Dodge Challenger, Charger, Coronet and Dart, and Plymouth Barracuda, 'Cuda, Road Runner and Valiant — across all engines.
A wheel cylinder converts brake-line hydraulic pressure into the outward force that pushes the shoes against the drum. Signs the original may need replacing include brake fluid weeping at the cylinder, a soft or spongy pedal, or uneven drum braking — diagnose the cause before replacing.
Replacing the cylinder while servicing the drum brakes is a quick, cost-effective way to help maintain brake performance. Sold individually — for even, balanced braking it's best to replace the cylinders on both sides of the axle together as a matched pair. Country of origin: China.
