Brake Booster

[96-2D-Hoe]

Did I never notice my OEM booster hissing inside the engine bay when I press the pedal or is something wrong here? I also mentioned this multiple times with the previous ones and nobody said anything?

Just installed the Cardone and it does the same thing. Also the pedal return is super slow. takes forever for the pedal to come back up.

WTF?

I have never heard the booster hiss in an engine bay. Not saying it can't happen, I just never heard it there. I always heard them hissing inside the vehicle when I would apply brake pedal. If nobody said anything, why didn't you ask again or push for an answer?

How long is forever? Do you hear the hiss noise inside the vehicle with the door closed?

Perhaps I never noticed it, but it definitely does it. My old one was affecting the idle when I pressed the pedal but I thought it was failing because it was hissing inside the engine bay.
I just installed the Cardone and if I press the pedal down hard the brakes drag for a second when I release it.

I must be cursed and this bad parts sheet is starting to get me down.

i wouldn't have bought a Cardone either way. ive never had any luck with cardone parts.

I personally have not had problems with Cardone but that may just mean I am blessed and the other names he asked about, I had never heard of.

This guy just can't catch a break.

Is the hiss you are hearing there al the time or just when the brakes are applied and does it effect the engine idle?

Just hissing when I press the pedal. I've checked the vacuum hose. Cardone says it will void the warranty if I remove the check valve so I haven't touched it.

But If I press the pedal down hard the pedal takes a while to come back up. When I drive it and do that I feel the brakes dragging for a second or two.

Feels fine apart from the hissing, dragging and spongy pedal!


I called Cardone and they have no CS right now. So I sent a message a couple hours ago but no reply yet.

Yea, wait for their reply but you did not answer my question about the new booster hiss noise effecting engine idle.

 

[96-2D-Hoe]

Someone in another forum just checked and say they have no air noise under the hood when they press the pedal. They also have a Cardone booster fitted.
No does not affect idle.
I'm confused. I even thought I might have tightened it down to hard and loosened it off a little and no change. This sheet sucks

You have the worst luck but over the years I have gotten bad new or bad reman parts before. It is just part of what can happen. Wait for their support to contact you.
