Product Details and Specifications

Common Brake Issues Addressed by This Master Cylinder
- Brake pedal feels low or spongy due to master cylinder wear
- Brake fluid leaks from the master cylinder piston area
- Uneven braking or pulling to one side during stops
- Brake pedal is hard or high after master cylinder replacement
- Brake system contamination causing inconsistent pressure
Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, verify that the booster push rod seal is intact to prevent leaks. Use the brake fluid type recommended by the original equipment manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4 glycol-based fluids. Bench bleeding the master cylinder prior to installation is recommended to remove air and ensure proper hydraulic function. Since this unit does not include a reservoir, ensure your existing reservoir is compatible and in good condition. Properly torque mounting bolts and check all connections for leaks after installation.
