Q: What should be noticed when replacing the Power Brake Booster?
A:
You will need to notice that hydraulic brake systems use two distinct and incompatible fluids. Power steering fluid is used in the hydraulic Brake Booster system. Brake fluid is used in the master cylinder and brake pipes. So you should use extreme care when selecting brake system fluids, or seal damage can result.
