Detailed Description

Cardone remanufactures this brake master cylinder to restore hydraulic pressure in the brake system while maintaining original equipment specifications. The unit uses new seals and cups, and the bore is finished to tight micro-finish standards to reduce wear-related issues. The cast-iron design receives a protective coating to help minimize corrosion and extend service life. Part number 10-2960 is a fitment-based replacement for the Chevrolet Impala, Buick Century, Buick Regal, and Pontiac Grand Prix applications listed below.

Brake Master Cylinder 10-2960 is a practical choice when the original unit shows internal bypass, external leakage, or inconsistent pedal response. It is also relevant when replacing a worn master cylinder during brake system service on a Buick Century, Chevrolet Impala, or Pontiac Grand Prix.

What It Helps Address

• Brake fluid leakage from the master cylinder body or seals
• Low or spongy brake pedal feel caused by internal bypass
• Corrosion or pitting inside the bore
• Loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake system
• Uneven or inconsistent brake pedal response

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify port sizes, mounting points, and reservoir configuration before installation. This unit does not include a reservoir. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake fluid specification and use fresh fluid from a sealed container. Bench bleeding is recommended before installation, and the brake system should be bled thoroughly after the master cylinder is installed.

The company also uses new O.E.-quality seals and cups and applies a protective coating to cast-iron units to help reduce rust.
