Cardone Brake Master Cylinder Line

Cardone remanufactured brake master cylinders are re-engineered to match original equipment performance. This product line uses new OE-quality seals and cups, with bores finished to reduce pitting and corrosion-related wear. On cast-iron versions, a protective coating is used to help resist rust; this unit features an aluminum body with the same focus on reliable hydraulic operation.

Common Brake Issues This Part Addresses

• Low or spongy brake pedal feel
• Internal bypass in the master cylinder
• Brake fluid leakage at the master cylinder
• Uneven hydraulic pressure in the brake system
• Hard pedal condition after master cylinder replacement when the system needs proper bleeding

Installation Notes and Tips

Use the brake fluid specified by the original equipment manufacturer and only fresh fluid from a sealed container. Bench bleed the master cylinder before installation, and follow the correct bleeding procedure for the brake system. If the pedal remains low, inspect the booster, calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses, and fluid condition for contamination or restriction. Verify port sizes and reservoir requirements before installation, since the reservoir is not included.

Cardone remanufactured master cylinders are built with new OE-quality seals and cups, height-gauged piston assemblies, and vacuum-tested reservoirs where applicable. The remanufacturing process is computer tested to confirm fit and function, supporting dependable service on compatible Ford Tempo and Mercury Topaz brake systems.
