Beetle Front Wheel Cylinder - 1958-79 (Not 1302 + 1303 Models) - ATE

• Genuine ATE brake component
• Front wheel cylinder for drum brake models
• Fits Beetles, Karmann Ghias and VW 181 Trekker models
• OEM-quality braking performance and reliability
• Sold individually
• Two required per vehicle

This ATE front wheel cylinder is designed for drum brake equipped VW Beetles, Karmann Ghias, and VW 181 Trekker models manufactured from October 1957 onwards. Produced by ATE, one of Volkswagen’s original braking system suppliers, this wheel cylinder offers excellent fitment, durability, and dependable braking performance for both restoration and everyday use.

The wheel cylinder is a vital hydraulic brake component which uses brake fluid pressure to push the brake shoes outward against the brake drum during braking. Over time, internal seals and cylinder bores can deteriorate due to age, moisture contamination, or corrosion, causing fluid leaks, sticking pistons, reduced braking efficiency, or complete brake failure.

Replacing worn wheel cylinders is essential for maintaining safe and balanced braking performance. ATE components are widely regarded for their high manufacturing standards, precise machining, and long service life, making them ideal for classic Volkswagen braking systems.

Sold individually. Two required per vehicle. We always recommend replacing wheel cylinders in matched axle pairs to maintain balanced braking performance.
