Remanufactured products only require 15-20% of the total energy and material it takes to manufacture
new parts while keeping usable cores out of landfills.
CARDONE's skilled technicians and engineers can completely rebuild your part and return it to you,
good as new. Learn More.
Product Description
CARDONE Remanufactured Vacuum Brake Boosters, Hydro-Vac Boosters, and Hydraulic Boosters, offer your vehicle reliable stopping performance, every time. Each unit is reverse engineered, based off 40 years of CARDONE Engineering expertise, where original design weaknesses are identified, corrected and where applicable upgraded to provide a more durable part then the original unit. Every unit is remanufactured to meet or exceed OEM performance, providing a quality product both you and your vehicle rely on.

Product & Technical
What does a Brake booster do?
A brake booster assists in pushing the master cylinder piston when the brakes are applied. This multiplies pedal force to decrease stopping distances.How can I identify my brake booster?
The most common way to identify the brake booster is by the vehicle application. However, most brake boosters have a pedal rod identification number stamped on the end of the rod. This can helpful in identifying the correct replacement brake booster.How much vacuum does a brake booster need?
For proper functionality, a brake booster will need a consistent supply of 18-21 inches of vacuum.How can I test my brake booster for proper functionality?
With the engine off, pump the brake pedal until it feels firm and hold. Then, start the engine and the pedal will sink slightly if the booster is operating properly.What causes multiple booster failure?
Fuel and oil vapors can enter the vehicle’s PCV system. These vapors will prematurely deteriorate the brake booster’s internal diaphragm.Why do my brake lights remain illuminated after installing my replacement brake booster?
After replacing a brake booster, it may be necessary to adjust the brake light switch. Some vehicles contain a one-time use brake light switch. In these cases, the brake light switch will need to be replaced.What is brake pedal free play?
Brake pedal free play is a measurement of how far the brake pedal moves before the master cylinder first begins engagement. Some vehicles will require an adjustment. Please refer to your vehicle’s service manual.Why is fluid present between my master cylinder and brake booster?
This is due to a failing master cylinder piston seal. This will result in brake fluid entering and contaminating the brake booster. The master cylinder and brake booster will need to be replaced.Why do I have less than 18 inches of vacuum supplied to my brake booster?
A common cause is a restricted vacuum hose. If the vacuum line is free flowing, there could be more extensive engine damage or wear. Engine vacuum also fluctuates based on altitude. Please refer to the O.E. specification for your vehicle.Can I use a brake booster from a different application?
No, brake boosters are application specific. Most will have different master cylinder and firewall mounting spreads.How can I identify my brake booster?
The most common way to identify the brake booster is by the vehicle application. However, most brake boosters have a pedal rod identification number stamped on the end of the rod. This can helpful in identifying the correct replacement brake booster.
Core
What is a core? A core is a used automotive part that is returned to the remanufacturer instead of being scrapped. Why return cores? Cores are literally at the “core” of the remanufacturing process, because they are the raw material used to start the remanufacturing process. That’s why remanufacturers buy cores back from customers, and they pay the most for good quality cores. If a core has too much damage in key areas, it may be unusable or require extra resources to process; therefore a reduced core payment may be awarded. This core policy explains potential deductions that may be taken from the core price if certain components are missing or damaged. What is remanufacturing? Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. Every unit is 100% tested to ensure O.E. performance. Why “reman”? PRODUCTS - Reman captures used, durable goods like auto parts and puts them “back on the road” to new and sometimes better than new performance. Reman provides the opportunity for detection of common failure modes and incorporation of design improvements to prevent repeat failure.ECONOMY - Reman products cost consumers about 40% less than new. Reman products are one of the few “green” products that actually costs less than their “non-green” counterparts.
ENVIRONMENTAL - Reman saves up to 86% of the energy required to build a new unit. Reman realizes Greenhouse Gas savings of up to 25 lbs. per unit over new. Reman saves up to 85% of the raw material required to produce a new unit by reusing existing products. Reman is even more sustainable than recycling, as product castings are preserved rather than melted down to raw material, saving energy and reducing emissions.
