Solved one problem

After unsuccessfully chasing an exaughst leak I finally found why I was getting a whistling sound when I pressed the brake pedal , after spraying soapy water here and there I sprayed the brake master cylinder only to find the bottom bushing are the culprit of my whistling sounds , number five on diagram is my problem , are these replaceable ?

 

Anyone ? Thinking of just buying a new master cylinder , each bushing is 24.95

 

New master might be the best bet. Being that they are numbered as parts on the diagram I would imagine they are replaceable. Probably even get a core fee back for your old one.

 

After looking again, I think even if they are replaceable you might stand a chance of cracking the plastic tank doing it. My vote goes to just replace the whole thing.

 

If it’s terribly expensive at the parts house this could even be a u pull it junk yard part. Just throwing out options

 

Besides going oem any certain brand I should avoid ?

 

I would think whatever the parts store has in stock should be fine. That’s what I would buy anyway.

 

Most of the stuff from the parts stores usually have a bit of a warranty as well. OEM from the dealer probably doesn’t

 

What’s your opinion on buying used oem parts from a wrecking yard ? For example I’m also replacing the brake booster which a reman goes for about 199 ,wrecker from the same truck with 80k less miles for 55$,
