BOTH new rear wheel cylinders leaking!?!?

[HT413]

Ordered 2 NEW (not rebuilt) from rock auto because I noticed both of my rear cylinders had one bolt head snapped off. Put em both in and the new ones are BOTH leaking. I even took one apart, inspected it, reinstalled and... LEAKING AGAIN. Seriously, WTF!? :banghead:

Chinkesium replacement parts. That's why I like to rebuild my own from genuine Chrysler castings. If you can take them apart, why didn't you rebuild them? Easy peasy and like 5 bucks a piece for kits.

Good points guys. I need to call rock auto, no doubt they're both old dry rotted chinesium. When i rebuilt it i just took it apart, cleaned, lubed with brake fluid and reused the seals and it looked pretty good but i guess not.

Yeah, rusty, the old one was in rough shape. A bolt was broken off plus the bleeder valve was stuck, which in a moment of frustration i broke off (i know) so i figured i'd just order a new one since they're only $10. Serves me right for breaking that damn bleeder valve. i could easy out it but i thought i might damage the seating surface so i didnt bother. Maybe a NAPA part will be better.

Maybe 20 years ago on the NAPA part. I don't know man. I'm skiddish of anything now. I think it all comes from overseas. I wish you luck.

Well that says it all, now doesnt it. Seems like NAPA came through for me but we'll see this weekend when I install. Thanks again, fellas, for letting me vent lol.

Hot damn. I bet those will work.

Bought new wheel cylinders for my Dakota....made in Italy. Worked well but had metric sized bleeder valves. If the crap is from China, I won't buy them and don't care too much for other countries either but anything that's not made in China is usually good.
