Beck/Arnley Brake Master Cylinder P/N:072-9722
Convert firm pedal pressure into the hydraulic force your brakes need with the Beck/Arnley Brake Master Cylinder 072-8573 (also written 0728573), a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1991 Honda Civic. As the heart of the hydraulic brake system, the master cylinder pressurizes fluid and sends it to the brake circuits every time you press the pedal — when the original wears or leaks internally, this unit restores that job. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details on the listed applications.
Signs the original may need replacing include a sinking or spongy pedal, brake fluid loss without an external leak, or a pedal that slowly drops under steady foot pressure. Diagnose the cause before replacing, and bleed the system after installation.
