hey all -

i was wondering if anyone has put in a new brake booster? can i use any universal booster as long as its diaphragm diameter is 7" ?


what brake booster/ master cylinder setup are you using? (this is directed more towards people with a v6 or v8)

thanks!!!

ive had trouble locating any stock boosters. there seems to be a lot more options out there. thats why i was wondering if it truly was a universal part, depending of course on the diameter.

if im spending the money anyway id prefer to get something a little more stout then stock?



thanks!

We trashed the booster and went to a master cyl. off of a
Dodge Carvan(1995) Slight increase in pedal pressure but works
so much better!
