Help keep a firm, responsive brake pedal with the Dorman First Stop Brake Master Cylinder M39848, a 1990-1994 Subaru Legacy master cylinder that converts pedal force into hydraulic pressure for the brake system. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1990-1994 Subaru Legacy (all engines). Dorman precision-engineers it to mirror the original master cylinder's design, function, and performance on the listed application, and builds it from new, high-quality materials for a safe, durable replacement.

  • Precise replacement: The aluminum cylinder housing is built to match the original part's housing material for similar performance.
  • Durable design: Every rubber component uses a high-quality EPDM compound to resist glycol-based brake fluid.
  • 100% new: Made entirely from new materials for quality and safety.
  • Strict specifications: Made to meet rigorous SAE International standards.
