Product Details

Cardone Brake Master Cylinder 11-2571 is remanufactured from original equipment cores and re-engineered to meet factory performance expectations. The bore is micro-finished to help reduce pitting and corrosion-related wear, while the piston assembly is height-gauged to maintain OE-level operation. For vehicles such as Honda Accord, Honda Prelude, and Acura CL, this master cylinder supports consistent brake pedal feel and hydraulic pressure delivery.

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

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Low or spongy brake pedal feel
• Brake fluid bypass inside the master cylinder
• External fluid leakage at the master cylinder body
• Uneven hydraulic pressure affecting braking response
• Pedal travel that does not build firm resistance

Installation Notes and Tips

Use the brake fluid specified by the original equipment manufacturer and always start with fresh fluid from a sealed container. Bench bleeding is recommended before installation, and step-bore master cylinders require a slow depress-and-release bleeding process rather than pumping the piston. If braking issues remain after replacement, inspect the booster push rod seal, brake hoses, calipers, and wheel cylinders for contamination or restriction.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this master cylinder to OE standards using new rubber components that meet SAE specifications. Cast-iron versions in the line receive a protective coating to help resist rust, and all units are computer tested to verify fit and function before release.
