Detailed Description
NM52270 is a brake master cylinder for Nissan Pathfinder applications listed for 1987-1988 models with front disc brakes. It is engineered as a direct replacement brake hydraulic component to help restore pedal feel and braking response when the original master cylinder shows internal wear, leakage, or pressure loss. The aluminum housing and integrated plastic reservoir support a service-ready design, while the included cap and seal help complete the assembly.
This part number, NM52270, is built for DOT 3 brake fluid systems and uses a 0.9375-inch bore diameter. For buyers searching for a 1987 Nissan Pathfinder brake master cylinder or 1988 Nissan Pathfinder brake master cylinder, this unit provides a fitment-specific replacement option for the listed front disc brake configuration.
What It Helps Fix
- Low or sinking brake pedal caused by master cylinder wear
- Brake fluid leakage from the master cylinder body or reservoir area
- Uneven or inconsistent hydraulic pressure in the brake system
- Delayed brake response during normal pedal application
- Loss of braking performance related to internal seal failure
Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, confirm the vehicle is a 1987-1988 Nissan Pathfinder with front disc brakes and verify the mounting pattern, bore size, and fluid type match the existing system. Mounting hardware, brake booster, push rod, and brake pressure switch are not included. Bench bleeding the master cylinder before installation helps remove trapped air and supports proper brake pedal feel after the system is filled and bled.
