Power Brake Booster Internal Components

The power brake booster:

^

Is a dual diaphragm, vacuum assisted power brake booster.

^

Reduces brake pedal pressure and travel distance.

^

Is located on the LH side of the bulkhead in the engine compartment, between the brake pedal and brake master cylinder.

^

Is divided into two separate chambers by the diaphragm.

^

Will not operate if vacuum is restricted, or if the vacuum related power brake components fail.

^

Is replaced as an assembly.

^

If the power assist fails, the brake system will continue to operate, with increased brake pedal effort.
