About the Cardone Brake Master Cylinder Product Line

The Cardone Brake Master Cylinder line focuses on remanufactured brake hydraulics that meet or exceed original equipment specifications. This product line offers components that restore braking system integrity by providing reliable fluid transfer and pressure management. The 11-3283 part number is part of this line, delivering a durable aluminum construction and precise bore sizing to maintain proper brake system function.

Detailed Product Description

This Cardone Brake Master Cylinder 11-3283 features a 1.062-inch bore diameter, which is critical for maintaining the correct hydraulic pressure in the brake system. Constructed from aluminum with a gray finish, it offers corrosion resistance and durability. The unit includes two mounting holes for secure installation and two ports, with the primary port sized at M12 x 1.0, ensuring compatibility with the brake lines of the specified vehicles. As a remanufactured part, it has been restored to meet functional standards without including a reservoir, so the existing reservoir must be reused or replaced separately.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 11-3283 Brake Master Cylinder, ensure the brake booster push rod seal is inspected for defects, as a faulty seal can affect performance.

Bench bleeding the master cylinder before installation is advised to remove air and ensure proper hydraulic function. Note that this part does not include a reservoir or installation hardware, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.
