What does a brake master cylinder do?

The brake master cylinder is the main component in your vehicle's hydraulic brake system. It converts the mechanical force you apply to the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure, which then forces brake fluid to the wheels to engage the brakes.

What are the signs that my brake master cylinder needs replacing?

Common signs include a spongy or soft brake pedal, the brake pedal sinking to the floor when held, a visible brake fluid leak from the master cylinder itself, or the brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This DFC brake master cylinder does not include brake fluid. You will need to purchase the appropriate type and amount of brake fluid separately and bleed the brake system after installation.
