An important part of the vehicle is the brake booster since it helps reduce the pressure from the pedal which makes the vehicle's brakes function properly. It also comes with vacuum chamber that multiplies the braking force.
Brake booster functionThe brake booster is placed between the pedal and master cylinder in order to increase the stopping power to the vehicle. This gives the driver the ability to brake while using little to no effort. There is also two different power boosters, although they both have the same capabilities of assisting the vehicle in braking.
The vacuum booster is designed in a way to use the pressure from the engine and the atmosphere to create a certain amount of force on the brakes. The hydraulic booster goes through the procedure of using the pressure of the fluid to help the brake application.
Common issues with a brake boosterA bad brake booster can lead to the reduction of braking capability, it will have a toll on the vehicle since it will take more power to stop the car.
