Hey all,

Yesterday I noticed a popping sound from the right rear while braking. Got the drum off today, turns out one of the cylinder pistons has a bad seal (see the pictures), so I'll need a replacement. I couldn't fine an OEM part number (can anyone help with that?) But here are some brands that make replacements:

Brakeware (at AutoZone)
O'Riley's house brand
Napa
Altrom (also at Napa)

Anyway, does anyone have experience with any of these brands, or any recommendations?

Also, is it best to replace both rear cylinders at the same time? Haven't done this before so all tips are appreciated!

Thanks!

I have had good luck with NAPA. I found my local NAPA store is also cheaper on brake parts then my local Advanced Auto Store.

2X Jolt! I like NAPA for parts that require accurate machining operations, close tolerances, etc.

Thanks all! Wound up stopping at Napa, only 13 bucks, hopefully should last the next 160000 miles!
