This is a genuine Nissan rear brake wheel cylinder, designed specifically for Nissan Navara D22 4WD models that are factory-fitted with an Akebono brand rear drum brake system. This hydraulic cylinder is located inside the rear brake drum, mounted directly to the brake backing plate. It is a critical component that uses brake fluid pressure to actuate the brake shoes, pressing them against the drum to slow the vehicle.
Wheel cylinders require replacement when their internal seals fail, leading to brake fluid leaks, or when the internal pistons seize, which prevents the brakes from operating correctly. Common symptoms of failure include a soft or spongy brake pedal, a noticeable decrease in braking performance, or the vehicle pulling to one side under braking. A visual leak of brake fluid around the inside of the rear wheel is a definitive sign that the wheel cylinder has failed and needs immediate attention.
The Brand of this cylinder is Akebono, so please make sure this is the same brand as the one on your car, as there are three different brands, which are all different sizes. Other brands are TOKICO & NABCO
Replacing a rear wheel cylinder is considered a moderate workshop job that requires correct disassembly and reassembly of the rear drum brake system. After installation, the vehicle's hydraulic brake system must be properly bled to remove all air and ensure safe operation. Fresh brake fluid is required to bleed the system after replacement. You should also inspect the brake shoes for contamination from leaking fluid and replace them if necessary.
Please check vehicle fitment to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. Please contact us with your VIN details if you require further assistance to confirm fitment.
