Product Details

MPA Electrical remanufactures this master cylinder using OE sample references and testing protocols that verify performance against original specifications. The result is a hydraulic brake component intended to restore braking feel and pressure delivery on Saab 900 and Saab 9-3 vehicles equipped with front disc brakes. The M52741 does not include a reservoir, cap, push rod, brake booster, sensor, or mounting hardware, so existing vehicle-specific components must be reused or sourced separately as needed.

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

Common Repair Symptoms

• Low or spongy brake pedal feel
• Brake fluid leakage at the master cylinder
• Uneven or inconsistent hydraulic brake pressure
• Pedal travel that increases during braking
• Brake warning concerns related to master cylinder wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Bench bleed the master cylinder before installation and use DOT 4 brake fluid only. Verify bore size, mounting hole spacing, and front disc brake configuration before installation on a 1994-1998 Saab 900 or 1999 Saab 9-3. Inspect the brake lines, booster interface, and reservoir condition during service, since those components are not included with this part.
