Detailed Description

Cardone 13-3306 is engineered as a new brake master cylinder for vehicles that require a reservoir-not-included replacement. The design uses quality seals, cups, and corrosion-resistant casting protection to support reliable hydraulic pressure and pedal response. For drivers searching for a brake master cylinder for 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox, 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent, or 2008-2010 Saturn Vue, this part provides a direct replacement solution built around OE specifications.

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

What It Helps Fix

• Low or spongy brake pedal feel
• Internal bypass in the master cylinder
• Brake fluid leakage into the booster area
• Uneven hydraulic pressure at the brake circuits
• Corrosion or bore wear inside the master cylinder

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 required before installation, and step-bore master cylinders must be bled slowly without pumping the piston. Check the booster push rod seal, brake hoses, calipers, and wheel cylinders if the pedal remains low, hard, or pulls to one side after replacement. This master cylinder does not include a reservoir.

Quality Assurance

Cardone designs its new master cylinders to match OE performance using reverse-engineering methods developed through decades of brake product remanufacturing experience. Each unit is endurance-tested for fit, function, and dependable operation, with seals and cups selected to meet SAE requirements.
