Raybestos Brakes Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder P/N:WC37539
Rebuild firm, even drum-brake action with the Raybestos Element3 Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (WC37109). This front wheel cylinder is a direct-fit replacement for the 1958-1978 Volkswagen Beetle (All), 1958-1964 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (All), and 1973 Volkswagen Thing (All). Mounted in the drum-brake assembly, it converts hydraulic pressure from the brake line into outward force that pushes the brake shoes against the drum. If a leaking or seized wheel cylinder is the cause of a soft pedal, fluid loss, or an uneven front brake, this replaces the worn unit.
Sold as a single cylinder; the listed applications use two per vehicle, so order accordingly and replace the pair together for balanced braking. Country of origin: China. Manufacturer part number WC37109.
