CARDONE's Quality Assurance Laboratory tested seven CARDONE remanufactured Master Cylinders against three remanufactured Master Cylinders from a competitor. The results of the tests are detailed below.
| Castings | Exclusive rust preventative coated | Oil dipped. Temporary rust preventative. Internal rust induces unit failure, external rust causes poor product appearance | Exclusive rust preventative coating prevents rust for the lifetime of the master cylinder, resulting in longer shelf life and product reliability |
| Bore | Pitting or corrosion not permitted in the piston cup travel areas. | Pitting and corrosion found in piston cup travel areas.Corrosion wears piston cups leading to premature unit failure. | Zero pitting ensures long piston cup and unit life |
| Cleaning Process | Thorough cleaning process that removes all residue | Questionable cleaning process.Units contained rust and sludge which damage the piston cups and contaminate the entire brake system. | CARDONE thoroughly cleans every unit to prevent contamination which may affect the master cylinder performance. |
| Bleeder Kits | CARDONE supplies bleeder kits with every unit. | Does not supply bleeder kits with every unit. | Bleeder kits help the service dealer bench bleed the unit, reducing warranty returns due to improper bleeding. |
CONCLUSION:
CARDONE's remanufactured Master Cylinders not only offer a high quality, low cost alternative to new parts, but are the leading choice in the remanufactured market.
