What does a brake master cylinder do?

The brake master cylinder is the heart of your vehicle's hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it uses your leg's force to push brake fluid through the brake lines, which then activates the brakes at each wheel.

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

Common signs include a brake pedal that feels spongy or goes all the way to the floor when pressed, or if you notice brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder itself. You might also experience a gradual increase in stopping distance.

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 of brake fluid for your vehicle separately and follow the correct bleeding procedure after installation.

Product Details

This is a DFC brake master cylinder, a key component for your vehicle's braking system. It's designed to fit a range of American Motors and Jeep models from the early 80s through the late 80s, including the American Motors Concord, Eagle, and Spirit, as well as Jeep Cherokee, Comanche, Wagoneer, and Wrangler. The master cylinder is what converts the force from your brake pedal into hydraulic pressure that pushes the brake pads against the rotors, bringing your vehicle to a stop. When it starts to fail, you might notice a spongy brake pedal or longer stopping distances, so replacing it is crucial for safety.

DFC has built this master cylinder to be a direct replacement for your original part. It's made to meet the original specifications, ensuring it will install correctly and function as intended. This means you can expect consistent braking performance once it's in place. While it's a straightforward replacement for many, always refer to your vehicle's service manual for the proper bleeding procedure after installation to ensure optimal brake function.
