• Fits 1999-2003 Ford Windstar, without traction control
• Aluminum construction with gray finish
• 1.062" bore diameter for OE-matched hydraulic operation
• 3-port design with M10 x 1.0 primary port and M10 x 1.0 / 3/8 x 24 secondary port
• New OE-quality seals and cups used in the remanufacturing process
• 100% computer tested for fit and function

Product Details

Cardone 10-2977 is part of the Brake Master Cylinder line and is remanufactured to restore proper brake pressure transfer from the pedal to the hydraulic system. The unit is re-engineered and tested to match OE performance, with attention to bore finish, piston assembly height, and sealing surfaces. This helps support reliable braking response in Ford Windstar brake master cylinder replacement applications where the original unit has worn seals, internal bypass, or leakage.

The remanufacturing process uses new OE-quality rubber components and includes protective finishing on the housing to help maintain durability. For buyers searching for a 1999-2003 Ford Windstar brake master cylinder without traction control, Part Number 10-2977 provides a direct-fit service replacement. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Low or spongy brake pedal caused by internal master cylinder bypass
• Brake fluid leakage from the master cylinder body or rear seal area
• Uneven or inconsistent hydraulic pressure during braking
• Pedal travel that increases as the brake system loses pressure
• Brake warning symptoms tied to worn master cylinder seals and cups

Installation Notes

Before installation, verify the vehicle is a 1999-2003 Ford Windstar without traction control and confirm port and bore specifications match the original unit. Bench bleed the master cylinder before connecting brake lines, and use only the brake fluid specified by the OE label on the reservoir lid or master cylinder cap. Always start with fresh fluid from a sealed container. If the system uses a step-bore design, follow the correct slow-press and release bleeding procedure rather than pumping the piston rapidly.

Inspect the booster push rod seal, brake hoses, calipers, and wheel cylinders if symptoms remain after replacement. Contaminated fluid, moisture, or petroleum-based fluid in the system can damage rubber components and should be addressed before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured master cylinders are computer tested for fit and function and built with new OE-quality seals and cups to support OE-level performance. The bore is finished to critical micro-finish standards to help reduce pitting and corrosion-related wear, and the aluminum housing is designed for long-term service in brake hydraulic applications.
