This front left-hand wheel cylinder is a quality reproduction replacement for all Volkswagen Splitscreen Buses produced between 1955 and 1963. The wheel cylinder plays a crucial role in the braking system, converting hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into mechanical force to push the brake shoes against the drum.

Fitted inside the front brake drum assembly, this cylinder ensures even and effective braking performance. Each front drum uses two wheel cylinders, one on the top and one on the bottom of the backing plate, meaning two cylinders are required per drum and four in total per vehicle.

Manufactured to original specifications, this reproduction part features high-quality cast construction and precision-machined internals for a proper seal and long service life. It is suitable for both standard road use and restoration projects where maintaining factory brake performance is essential.

• Position: Front Left (Passenger Side on RHD models)

• Quantity: Sold each (2 required per drum, 4 per vehicle)

• Quality: Reproduction

Applications:

• VW Splitscreen Bus: 1955–1963
