Product Details

This DFC Brake Wheel Cylinder 375-56007 is used in drum brake hydraulic systems to transfer brake fluid pressure into wheel cylinder movement at the rear brakes.

• Corrosion or wear inside the drum brake hydraulic assembly

Installation Notes

Confirm the rear brake position and model-year application before installation. Match the vehicle exactly to the listed fitment, since Mercury Montego coverage varies by year and body style, and police, taxi, and wagon exclusions apply where noted. Inspect the brake hydraulic system, brake shoes, and drum condition during service, and bleed the brake system after wheel cylinder replacement.
