Detailed Description
This brake master cylinder is engineered to match the design, function, and performance of the original unit on specific vehicle years, makes, and models. It is a practical replacement for 1995-1996 Ford Contour and 1995-1996 Mercury Mystique brake hydraulic service, especially when the original master cylinder shows internal leakage, poor pedal feel, or loss of hydraulic pressure. The Dorman M390226 is also cross-referenced to Raybestos Brakes MC390226 for the same application.
Built from new materials, this master cylinder supports a clean OE-style repair without reusing worn internal components. The aluminum housing and 1-inch bore help maintain the original brake system configuration, while the four-outlet design supports the factory hydraulic routing used on these vehicles. Search terms such as 1995 Ford Contour brake master cylinder, 1996 Mercury Mystique master cylinder replacement, and Dorman M390226 brake hydraulics all point to this direct-fit service part.
What It Helps Fix
- Soft or sinking brake pedal caused by master cylinder wear
- Internal fluid bypass that reduces braking pressure
- Brake fluid leakage from a failing master cylinder body or seals
- Uneven or inconsistent hydraulic response during braking
- Restoration of factory brake system operation on select Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique models
Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, confirm the bore size, outlet thread sizes, and reservoir arrangement match the original part. This unit does not include mounting hardware, a reservoir, or a sensor. Bench bleeding the master cylinder before installation helps remove trapped air and supports proper pedal feel after the brake system is reassembled. Verify all brake line connections are clean and properly tightened to the specified torque.
Quality Assurance
Dorman manufactures this replacement master cylinder to follow the original design and function for the listed applications. The M390226 is made from new, high-quality materials for a durable brake system repair on 1995-1996 Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique vehicles.
