About this master cylinder

The brake master cylinder turns the push on your pedal into the hydraulic pressure that applies every brake on the car. When its seals wear, the pressure leaks past them inside the cylinder, and that shows up as a pedal that feels soft or slowly sinks to the floor.

This is a new master cylinder, not a rebuilt one, so there's no old unit to send back and no core charge.

  • Precision bore: machined to the original bore size for the same pedal travel and feel as the factory part.
  • New seals: fresh, fluid-resistant seals that hold pressure, with no leaks between the front and rear circuits.
  • OE-style fit: made to match the original mounting, ports and pushrod, so it bolts on where the old one came off.
  • Signs it's time: a pedal that sinks while you hold it, a soft or spongy pedal that won't firm up after bleeding, the brake warning light, falling fluid level with no leak at the wheels, or fluid where the master cylinder meets the booster.

Installing: bench-bleed the master cylinder before it goes on the car, then bleed the whole system, starting at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder. Some ABS systems need a scan tool to cycle the ABS unit while bleeding. Use the brake fluid your owner's manual calls for. Brakes are safety parts: if you're not sure, have a professional fit it, and test the pedal before you drive.

Match these before you order

The chart lists every trim of each model, but this master cylinder only fits the versions described here. Check ABS, brake type and bore against your car. Not sure? Send us your VIN.

Purchase terms

Confirm fit before you buy

Check the compatibility chart with your full vehicle details: year, make, model, trim and engine. Catalog data can't cover every option package or mid-year change, so if you're unsure, message us your VIN and we'll check it before you buy.

Installation

We recommend installation by a qualified technician, following the vehicle manufacturer's service procedures and torque specifications. Damage caused by incorrect installation, such as over-tightening, cross-threading or incorrect adjustment, isn't covered.

Returns

Returned parts must be new, unused and uninstalled, in the original packaging with every piece included. A part that has been installed, modified or damaged after delivery can't be accepted unless it has a manufacturer defect.

If a part fails

Message us through eBay with your order number, a short description of the problem and photos. We'll handle the warranty claim and may ask for the part back for inspection.

Labor and other costs

Our responsibility is limited to replacing or refunding the part. To the extent the law allows, we don't cover labor, installation or removal, diagnosis, towing, rental vehicles, or incidental or consequential damages.

Your eBay protection

These terms apply alongside eBay's policies. Nothing here limits your rights under the eBay Money Back Guarantee or under the law.
