Detailed Product Description
The Raybestos Element3 Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder WC37112 features a 1.125-inch cylinder bore diameter, a critical dimension that ensures proper hydraulic pressure within the drum brake system.

Using the correct bore diameter is essential to maintain balanced braking and prevent premature wear.
