Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder P/N:W90550

$26.99

Description

Keep your classic VW's rear drum brakes responding with the Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder, part number W90550 from the First Stop line. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1958-1972 Volkswagen Sedan, 1958-1967 Volkswagen Beetle and 1961-1967 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Mounted at the rear drum brake, the wheel cylinder takes hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and turns it into the force that pushes the brake shoes outward against the drum. Engine and application details are listed in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

Ideal replacement: engineered specifically as a direct match for the original drum brake wheel cylinder on the listed vehicles, with the same fit, function and performance.
Cost-effective fix: Dorman recommends replacing the cylinder while the drum brakes are already apart for service, as an efficient way to help maintain braking performance.
Quality materials: built with high-quality EPDM rubber cups and boots.
Professionally tested: the cylinder bores are surface-tested to provide an optimum sealing surface for the pressure cups, and each unit is manufactured and tested for quality assurance.

Signs a wheel cylinder may need replacing: brake fluid seeping inside the drum or at the backing plate, fluid-soaked brake shoes, a dropping fluid level, or a soft or sinking brake pedal. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the brake system before replacing parts. Bleed the brakes after installation and follow the vehicle service information for the correct procedure.
