Restore firm, even drum braking at the rear axle with the Dorman First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder W80148. This rear wheel cylinder drops in as a direct replacement for the 1976-1979 Chevrolet Chevette [All], which uses two per vehicle. It converts hydraulic brake-fluid pressure into the mechanical force that pushes the brake shoes out against the drum — if a leaking or seized original wheel cylinder is behind a soft pedal or fluid on the backing plate, this replaces it.
Built to match the original wheel cylinder's fit, function, and performance on the listed applications, and manufactured and tested for quality assurance. Replacing the cylinder while servicing the drum brakes is a fast, cost-effective way to keep the hydraulic side working properly. Sold individually; order two to renew both sides of the axle as a matched pair. Country of origin: China.
