Detailed Description

MPA Electrical NM55049 is a brake master cylinder designed for Honda Civic applications from 1996 through 2000 with front disc brakes.

The aluminum housing helps provide durable construction, while the plastic reservoir supports a service-ready installation. NM55049 is a practical choice for drivers searching for a 1996 Honda Civic brake master cylinder, a 1997-2000 Honda Civic master cylinder replacement, or a front disc brake hydraulic repair for Civic models in this range.

Common Problems It Can Help Solve

• Low or sinking brake pedal caused by internal master cylinder wear
• Brake fluid leakage around the master cylinder body or reservoir area
• Uneven or inconsistent hydraulic pressure during braking
• Soft pedal feel after brake system service
• Loss of braking performance related to a failing hydraulic unit

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, confirm the vehicle is a 1996-2000 Honda Civic with front disc brakes and verify the bore size and mounting layout match the original unit. Bench bleeding the master cylinder before final installation helps remove trapped air and supports proper pedal feel. Use clean DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid only, and inspect brake lines, fittings, and the booster interface for wear or contamination during service. Mounting hardware, push rod, brake booster, seals, and pressure switch are not included.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical tests each brake master cylinder against OE specifications using controlled processes and a sample-based reference library to support consistent hydraulic performance. Part number NM55049 is a new standard replacement component for Honda Civic brake service.
