Bring firm, even drum braking back to your Nissan with the Beck/Arnley Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder 072-8501 (also written 0728501), a complete new rear wheel cylinder built to a direct-replacement standard for foreign-nameplate applications. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1993-1998 Nissan Altima, 1989-1993 Nissan Maxima, 1986-1989 Nissan Stanza, and 1987-1988 Nissan Van — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details. Mounted at the rear drum, the wheel cylinder uses hydraulic pressure from the brake line to push its pistons outward, forcing the brake shoes against the drum to slow the vehicle.
Signs the original may need replacing include brake fluid seeping at the backing plate or drum, a soft or sinking pedal, and reduced rear braking. Sold individually; for even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace the wheel cylinder on the opposite side of the same axle at the same time.
