Turn every press of the pedal into hydraulic braking pressure with the Beck/Arnley brake master cylinder, part number 072-9969. It installs as a direct replacement for the 2007-2012 Mazda CX-7, designed to match OE form, fit and function.
Hydraulic braking begins at the master cylinder. It converts the force applied at the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure and sends it through the brake lines to the wheel brakes. If a leaking or internally worn master cylinder is behind a soft or sinking pedal, this complete new assembly is designed to replace it.
A spongy or sinking brake pedal, brake fluid seeping at the master cylinder, or a brake fluid warning can be signs this part may need replacing. Other brake components can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. When installing, bleed the master cylinder and the brake system as the vehicle service procedure directs. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and application details.
