Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $46, while 2023 tops the table at $220. Parts from 2014–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.

Buying a used master cylinder: what to check

  1. Inspect rear piston seal for fluid leaks: Check the rear mounting flange for wet fluid leakage that damages power brake booster rubber diaphragms.
  2. Verify reservoir clarity and mounting grommets: Inspect the plastic fluid reservoir for sun-embrittled walls, cracks, or hardened rubber mounting grommets.
  3. Check brake line port thread types: Verify whether hydraulic output ports use metric bubble flares or inverted flare threads before connecting brake lines.
  4. Confirm fluid level sensor plug condition: Check the fluid level float switch connector for corrosion or broken locking tabs to avoid low-fluid dash warnings.
  5. Bench bleed before vehicle installation: Purge trapped air from internal piston chambers using a bench bleed kit before attaching vehicle brake lines.
