You might want to switch to disc brakes in the front. No surprises then.

Just got another case, Joe....

are these boosters only on 77-78 cads or are they avalible on newer cads? how do you test to tell if they are good or not before installing?

[River Beast]

After 78 the boosters are vac....

No real way of testing, I had installed mine and leaked like a siv! It slowed down alot after a month, but wound up using it as a core and got a new one.

True Todd...there is no way of testing a unit short of installing it to see if it leaks. No big deal. If it does, the core value far exceeds what you will pay for it at the bone yard.

Just moving topic...

FYI.. My 1994 and my 1984 Chevy 1 ton box vans(Work trucks) both have the hydroboost system on them.

Is $45 too much for the hydroboost setup? They refuse to just sell me the hydroboost and insist I take the entire brake system from stem to stern.
