The push rod is the mechanical link between the hydraulic wheel cylinder piston and the brake shoe, transferring the force generated by hydraulic pressure into the mechanical movement that applies the brake shoe against the drum. As the actuator builds hydraulic pressure, the push rod extends to press the shoe outward; when pressure releases, it retracts to allow the shoe to return to its resting position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a lightweight component at 0.07 pounds, sized to fit within the wheel cylinder bore and actuator housing of the trailer brake assembly it is designed for. Because push rods see repeated cyclic loading every time the brakes are applied, replacing a worn, bent, or corroded push rod with the correct Dexter part helps maintain proper shoe engagement and consistent braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 054-156-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Brake Actuators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Dexter 054-156-00 used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a hydraulic wheel cylinder push rod, part number 054-156-00, used inside a trailer brake actuator to transfer force from the wheel cylinder piston to the brake shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this push rod weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter push rod 054-156-00 weighs 0.07 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat brand is part number 054-156-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 054-156-00 is manufactured by Dexter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of part is this?\u003c\/strong\u003e This item is listed under trailer brake actuators, since the push rod is a component within that assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does a wheel cylinder push rod work?\u003c\/strong\u003e The push rod extends when hydraulic pressure builds in the wheel cylinder, pressing the brake shoe outward against the drum, and retracts as pressure releases so the shoe returns to its resting position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I need to replace this push rod?\u003c\/strong\u003e A push rod that is worn, bent, or corroded can prevent proper shoe engagement, so replacing it with the Dexter 054-156-00 helps restore consistent brake actuator performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 054-156-00 the correct part number to order?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, 054-156-00 is the Dexter part number for this hydraulic wheel cylinder push rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this push rod come with mounting hardware?\u003c\/strong\u003e The listing covers the Dexter 054-156-00 push rod itself; no additional hardware is specified.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991257592027,"sku":"DEX-054-156-00","price":3.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dic-0978300_lg__37977.1558140294.500.750.jpg?v=1785329085","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-054-156-00-hydraulic-wheel-cylinder-push-rod-for-trailer-brake-actuators","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
