What is a brake master cylinder and what does it do?

The brake master cylinder is the central component of your vehicle's hydraulic braking system. It converts the mechanical force from your brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which then forces the brake fluid to push the brake calipers or wheel cylinders, slowing your vehicle.

What are the symptoms of a failing brake master cylinder?

Common signs of a failing master cylinder include a spongy or soft brake pedal, a brake pedal that sinks to the floor, reduced braking ability, or visible brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder itself.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This DFC brake master cylinder does not include brake fluid. It is recommended to purchase new, compatible brake fluid separately and to flush the system when installing a new master cylinder.

Product Details

This DFC brake master cylinder features a cast iron housing, a material known for its strength and durability, which is crucial for handling the high pressures involved in your braking system. It's built to be a direct replacement for the original unit on your 2009-2015 Honda Civic or 2013-2014 Acura ILX, meaning it should install without needing modifications.

A properly functioning master cylinder is the heart of your car's hydraulic braking system. It converts the force you apply to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that pushes the brake pads against the rotors. If your old master cylinder is leaking, or if you're experiencing a spongy brake pedal, replacing it with a well-built unit like this DFC cylinder can restore your braking performance and safety.

This part is designed to meet the original equipment specifications for your vehicle, ensuring a proper fit and function. When replacing a master cylinder, it's a good practice to also flush and replace your brake fluid to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the new component.
