Detailed Description

This Metelli 04-0897 drum brake wheel cylinder is used in rear brake hydraulic systems where the wheel cylinder converts hydraulic pressure into brake shoe movement. It is listed for 2003-2004 Nissan Frontier rear, 2004 Nissan Pathfinder rear to 7/2004, 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra rear, 1999-2003 Nissan Pathfinder rear, and select 1998-2001 INFINITI QX4 rear applications. The aluminum base material supports a lightweight hydraulic housing, and the 22.2 bore specification is important for matching the original brake setup. If you are sourcing a rear wheel cylinder for a Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan Xterra, or INFINITI QX4, part number 04-0897 helps narrow the correct replacement.

This part cross-references Dayco 72918 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a leaking rear drum brake wheel cylinder
  • Restoring rear brake shoe actuation in drum brake systems
  • Addressing low brake pedal feel caused by hydraulic loss
  • Correcting uneven rear braking from a worn cylinder bore
  • Servicing rear brake hydraulics on Nissan Frontier, Pathfinder, Xterra, and INFINITI QX4 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear drum brake configuration, model year, and production date before ordering. Confirm the 22.2 mm bore specification and compare the original cylinder to Metelli 04-0897 before installation. After replacement, bleed the brake hydraulic system and inspect the rear shoes, drums, and brake lines for wear or leakage.
