View Full Version : Brake Booster Issues...  04-17-2006, 11:55
PM Howdy Everyone-  Well, drove around 150 miles in the cruiser
today, with a short run up into the mountains, coming down I had
to hit my brakes a bit to allow a faster vehicle by, when I did
my truck darted side to side... this was new, but I am not sure
if it is related.  After driving to the airport and back about
an hour and half, my brake pedal was getting a bit stiff but
still slowing the 40 down.  By the time I got home today, I was
needing to downshift to scrub speed and the pedal was stiff as a
board. I was having to stand on it to get it to stop. I also had
a bit of fluid coming out of the front cap when I got home...
the cap is pretty dry rotted and loose though.  I am thinking it
has to be in the booster? Fluid is good, pads are good, these
are disks.  What do I start to look for with the booster? How do
I check it for proper function?    Uncle Ben 04-18-2006, 03:07
AM It sounds more like you have a sticking disc brake caliper.
