    Really? Where's the best place to buy? I looked at one OEM Toyota site. Shows the part I need discontinued. :-(

    Welcome to The Forum!

    I suggest you figure out why you have mushy brakes before you start replacing parts. Are you certain that the master cylinder is the cause of your mushy brakes?

    Not really, just reading. They work when I push down hard but will go down while sitting still. It holds but makes me sweat
