What does a brake master cylinder do?

The master cylinder is the main component in your car's hydraulic brake system. When you press the brake pedal, it forces brake fluid into the lines, which then activates the brakes at each wheel.

What does 'Excl SHO' mean for my Ford Taurus?

This means the master cylinder is designed for standard Ford Taurus models from 1986-1991, but it is not compatible with the Taurus SHO (Super High Output) performance model.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing a new master cylinder?

Yes, it is essential to bleed the brake system after installing a new master cylinder. This process removes any air that may have entered the lines, ensuring proper hydraulic pressure and effective braking.

Product Details

DFC is known for making dependable brake components, and this master cylinder is no different. If you're working on a 1986 through 1991 Ford Taurus (but not the SHO model) or a 1989 Mercury Sable, this part is designed to get your braking system back in solid working order.

A master cylinder is the heart of your car's hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it pushes fluid through the brake lines to your calipers or wheel cylinders, which then apply pressure to stop your wheels. If your old master cylinder is leaking or not building enough pressure, you might notice a spongy pedal or reduced stopping ability. This DFC master cylinder is built to replace the original unit, ensuring proper fluid flow and pressure for consistent braking performance.

This part is a direct replacement, meaning it fits right onto your existing brake lines and pedal linkage without needing modifications. Just be sure to properly bleed your brake system after installation to remove any air and ensure optimal performance.
