Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder P/N:W36074
Refresh the hydraulic heart of your rear drum brakes with this Dorman drum brake wheel cylinder, the First Stop W37862. It takes hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder and turns it into the force that pushes the brake shoes out against the drum. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1990-1995 Jeep Wrangler, 1990-2001 Jeep Cherokee and 1991-1993 Dodge Grand Caravan. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
A wheel cylinder may need replacing if you see brake fluid seeping inside the drum or onto the backing plate, or fluid-soaked brake shoes. Other signs are a soft or low brake pedal, or the vehicle pulling to one side when braking. Other faults can cause these symptoms too, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Installing a wheel cylinder opens the hydraulic system, so the brakes must be bled afterward. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct procedure and torque values.
