Product Details

This is a DFC 355-56006 brake master cylinder, a key part for your vehicle's braking system. It's designed to fit a range of Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models from the early 70s through the late 80s, including vehicles like the Ford LTD, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis. The master cylinder is the heart of your hydraulic braking system; when you press the brake pedal, it converts that force into hydraulic pressure that pushes the brake fluid to your wheels, activating the brakes.

When your old master cylinder starts to wear out, you might notice a spongy brake pedal, a longer stopping distance, or even brake fluid leaks. Replacing it with a well-built unit like this DFC cylinder ensures that your braking system will operate as intended. This part is built to meet the original equipment specifications for the vehicles it fits, meaning it should install without issue and restore proper braking function. It's a solid option for bringing your braking performance back to where it should be.
