Aftermarket Brake Master Cylinder (OEM discontinued)

Brake master cylinder needs replacing. OEM is discontinued. What aftermarket brands are good?
I’ve seen Centric and Dynamic Friction come up a lot.

 

IMO for part like this
Worth the extra you pay autozone/advanced for lifetime warranty
(As opposed to rockauto…….dealing with sending part back/warranty qualifications)

 

Is it discontinued or backordered?

 

Discontinued. Call every toyota dealer. Looked around at stores that specialize in toyota parts and they only have made in china aftermarket stuff.

 

Yeah the warranties i saw on rock auto a lot are for very short periods.

 

Yeah, sad, but AM only choice for a host of parts for older tacos

but…..one BIG thing

the MC will bolt on/work NP
As it’s an AM unit, chances are good that the MC rod is not the same length
There is even a step on checking the same in the manual
(I have changed a dozen MC’s and never heard of this…..states the same in Toyota/Honda/Subaru manuals)

adjustable by Clevis near brake pedal

Hey might install without any pedal change…..great!
But I adjusted this clevis, feels crazy better/stops better too

 

This is Honda’s instructions

 

This is Toyota instructions:
1996 manual BTW

 

Toyota dealers like to tell people parts are discontinued when they're actually just backordered.
