What does a brake master cylinder do?

The brake master cylinder is the heart of your hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it converts that force into hydraulic pressure, pushing brake fluid through the lines to activate your brakes.

What are the signs my master cylinder needs replacing?

Common signs include a brake pedal that feels soft, spongy, or sinks to the floor when pressed. You might also notice a decrease in braking performance or find brake fluid leaks around the master cylinder itself.

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 ensure the system is properly bled after installation.
