Installation notes: verify the vehicle’s brake fluid specification before filling, and use fresh fluid from a sealed container. Bench bleed the master cylinder before installation, and follow the correct bleeding procedure for the brake system. For step-bore style systems, depress the piston slowly and allow time between strokes rather than pumping rapidly. Inspect the booster push rod seal, brake hoses, calipers, and wheel cylinders if brake issues remain after replacement.

Quality assurance: Cardone remanufactures this master cylinder with new OE-quality seals and cups, micro-finished bores to reduce pitting-related failure, and vacuum-tested plastic reservoirs where applicable. The cast-iron housing receives a protective coating to help resist rust, and each unit is computer tested before release. This part cross-references A1 Cardone 11-2017 for the same application.
