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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft or sinking brake pedal caused by master cylinder wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal fluid bypass that reduces braking pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fluid leakage from a failing master cylinder body or seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven or inconsistent hydraulic response during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoration of factory brake system operation on select Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman manufactures this replacement master cylinder to follow the original design and function for the listed applications.
