What does a brake master cylinder do?

The brake master cylinder is the main component in your car's hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it converts that force into hydraulic pressure, pushing brake fluid through the lines to activate the brakes at each wheel.

What are the signs of a failing brake master cylinder?

Common signs include a brake pedal that feels spongy or goes to the floor, a noticeable decrease in braking performance, or brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder itself. You might also see a brake warning light illuminate 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 of brake fluid for your vehicle and add it after installation. It is also crucial to properly bleed the brake system after installation.
