Brake Booster
« on: June 14, 2014, 08:27:45 PM »
Hi all,

In need of a brake booster, mine is sucking/bowing (one of them) air when I shut the car off for 4-5 seconds. Can't seen to find the leak, but it sounds like it's coming from the bottom of the booster (hard to pinpoint).

Is there any other vehicles that were known to use the same brake booster, or one that can be modified to fit? Or does anyone know what the sound could be? It's a hissing sound for a few seconds after the car shuts off.

Might have to take you up on that. I'm in Nova Scotia but I have family out in Alberta that are coming east in a few weeks.

Mihgt have to take you up on that offer Carnuk. Going to check the Eagle Graveyard for one first though. Money getting thin.

Let me know when you might be coming up to Canada again.

I sold it 2 days ago local.
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!
