Hi,
I am struggling to get a replacement for my broken brake booster.
Now, I did get a remanufactored unit but when it got here it was worse then my broken unit. I partly could blame it on problems during shippment but looking at it closely I saw things that eliminated my confidence in "re-manufactored" as such. And we are talking about a company with reputation.
Now my question:
What alternatives are there? I couldn't find "new" ones searching for my car. All was remanufactored. However, there shouldn't be too much secret in the construction of a brake booster as far as I understand it.
In the Hot Rodding world there are some models on sale which come with a Chrysler Style Master Cylinder. What (apart from that it may not be direct fit) speaks against going for one of those?
Maybe someone has had the same problem then I have and came up with another solution.
So, basically I am interested in this:
1. A source (shop) who may sell NEW brake boosters (direct fit)
2. Maybe boosters of other Car Makes/Models would more or less direct fit in our cars so I would be interested to know those
3. Maybe I am paranoid after one bad experience and all of you tell me "rebuilt brake boosters are generally a reliable way to get it done".
You see, I am basically at a point without direction. Anything may help....
