Now, I know left and right wheel cylinders are usually mirrored and slightly different but...
I just got a set of Wagner reman cylinders and the are very differnet. One has the shafts with slotted ends that i'm used to seeing. The other has no shaft coming out of the boot and the pistons are sortof cone shaped. I haven't taken my old ones off yet so I don't have anything to compare them to. It just didn't seem right, can anyone confirm this for me?

That sounds right. The pistons are concave so the shafts center themselves on the piston when installed. The difference between left and right...as I remember...is the angle of the inlet fitting. Internally they're the same. :eagle:
Here are some pictures of what i'm talking about, maybe it will make a bit more sense. On the right is Wagner #WC129240 on the left is #WC59241. Both were supposed to be for the Eagle rear left/right, don't remember which was which at the moment.

One on the right is oddball. On my Comanche I put Eagle wheel cyls (new were $15 each and I had them leftover) because they were slightly bigger bore with same size brakes. Much needed improvement with my 33" tires.
Not sure what I'm going to do with the 8.25 XJ axle brakes I'm swapping in. I'm hoping to score rear discs from a ZJ, but it's not high priority for me right now. Getting the 2 piece axle D35/M15 out of there is more important since I'll be towing with the Eagle soon.
Yep, the one on the right was mis-packaged. Seller refunded the purchase price and i''ve got an unknown Wheel cylinder to get rid of, and two for one side of the car. I'll probably just use the parts from the extra to rebuild the one on the car.
yes the left one is the right cyl for eagle, the other one belongs to another vehicle, somethinge went wrong on packing
