What is a brake master cylinder and why is it important?

The master cylinder is the heart of your hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it pushes fluid through the brake lines to activate the brakes at each wheel. A properly functioning master cylinder is essential for safe and reliable stopping.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This DFC brake master cylinder does not include brake fluid. You will need to purchase appropriate brake fluid separately and bleed the brake system after installation to ensure proper operation.

What does the 'Prop 65' warning mean?

The Prop 65 warning indicates that the product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. This is a state-specific labeling requirement and does not necessarily mean the product is unsafe for use.
