Dorman W17508 Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder

Good product. Fit great. Works great.

Belle couleur

I did a full brake job on my Jeep (first time), and even though my brake cylinders looked OK with no signs of leaking I decided to change them too....they're only $8 a piece and take just a few minutes to change out so you might as well do it all while you're in there. I did wind up twisting off the passenger side steel brake line because the flare nut was seized and the line kept twisting as I tried to unscrew it...but, no worries, $8 for a new line at the local NAPA and it screwed right back in and with a quick bleed was good to go. Everything seems to be working fine! And, not too difficult of a job to do (drum brakes, that is), even if you've never done them before. You'll save a ton of money vs. taking it to your local auto repair shop where they will happily bend you over the counter for the price of a brake job!

I needed to do my rear drum brakes and in the process decided to replace both wheel cylinders on both sides at the same time. I was not disappointed with the quality and price. This is a must if you have not ever replaced your rear brake wheel cylinders. They will give you some peace of mind knowing your brakes will work correctly. Don't forget to also replace all the small parts inside like springs, levers, etc., also. You can do this by buying the kit for each side of the rear drum brakes.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: These should keep you from the frustrating task of trying to pull your axle lines parallel to the axle (which they don't want to do). However, these take a 5/16"x20(?) mounting bolts. Your backing plate may take something like 1/4"x24 and this will not fit. Does not come with the bolts.
