Owner reviews for brake booster

I’ve had good luck with cardone stuff, got a reman steering rack and a brake booster, because for those things for my car there isn’t any new ones available, and they came in great condition and are perfect replacements, the booster has lasted for over 30k miles since installed

I love my beast. So compared to the newer ones a third gen literally is better built on the inside. The newest ones the handles break off and alit if it is just not as hardy. I have a 1999 and have 269,000 miles on her. She has need a few things replaces, she came cross country, but new break booster new brake master cylinder, new alternater, and some work on the cellinoiud on tyranny repaired for a 99 she's still beast mode. I recommend this car to anyone looking

I replaced my 85 with a 93 cobra booster and it works great. However you will need a bfh to dent in the strut tower. I also have disk brakes however. If you are using the stock proportioning valve block and not an inline, I would go against this as Im not sure the block would be able to handle the pressure. I tried using the stock block and had issues with leaking.

That is one of the most informative and timely videos. Thank you so much for posting that.

Brain1234 Good advice, My master fluid kept going down, Could not find a leak. Eventually I stopped adding worrying where it would go, and funny enough despite running low on brake fluid the brakes get ok..... Until figured out the booster was 1/2 full of Brake fluid....

I’ve been getting a Brake Booster Restricted error along with an Auto Start-Stop System Fault on my 2017 Audi A4. This happened a few times before...for those who had the same warning, did you also hear a knocking sound when braking or feel any feedback through the pedal?

Rebuilt my Jeep YJ Font end and brakes worked fine. Dropped Jeep down off the Jack and brakes went to the floor... No leaks just dead booster.

Just had to do mine on 2010 Prius w/98k mi. Replaced Brake Booster and Master Cylinder Assembly and fluid flush, $1,792 out the door, parts and labor. Yes the parts are expensive for this job, but shop around to different dealerships. One dealer 40 miles away was $3,900 for the same job!

Just a heads up, I used that rebuild service for my ATE booster out of my mk1 rabbit and it was trash. The internal valve was full of junk causing the brakes to stick when you let off the brake pedal.

Had to have the brake booster system completely replaced after I almost hit a car when the pedal went down and almost nothing happened.
