Detailed Product Information

Cardone 10-2862 is a remanufactured brake master cylinder that follows OE specifications for bore size, port layout, and overall function. The unit uses new seals and cups, and the bore is finished to critical micro-finish standards to reduce the risk of pitting and corrosion. This helps maintain stable pedal feel and dependable hydraulic pressure in daily driving conditions. It is a strong match for Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Mazda B2300, Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, Mercury Mountaineer, and Lincoln Aviator applications listed in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fluid leakage from a worn master cylinder
• Soft, low, or inconsistent brake pedal response
• Internal bypass that reduces hydraulic pressure
• Corrosion or bore wear affecting brake performance
• Fitment issues when replacing an OE-style master cylinder

Installation Notes

Verify the port sizes, mounting hole count, and reservoir requirement before installation. This unit is listed without a reservoir, so reuse or source the correct reservoir as needed for the application. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake fluid specification and bench-bleed the master cylinder before final installation to reduce trapped air in the hydraulic system.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured master cylinders are computer tested for fit and function, and the remanufacturing process uses new OE-quality internal components. The protective coating on cast-iron units helps reduce rust and extend service life. Part number 10-2862 is built to OE performance standards for dependable brake system restoration.
