    Ford Falcon: Brake booster

    Ford Ford Advice Ford Falcon Ford Falcon Advice Ford Falcon 2011
    ...
    The note regarding the BA Falcon with brakes apparently dragging rings true, we see a few of these at our business, Hoppers Stoppers. It's usually not the master cylinder, but actually a faulty booster. The owner would probably also see an increase in fuel use and brake wear. He might also find that lifting the brake pedal with his toe will stop the problem until he next uses the brakes. A note of caution as there are several different part number boosters, and Fords spares system doesn't always find the correct replacement first off. The booster's output pushrod that seats into the recess in the master cylinder varies in length. We found that this could be reused off the old booster if need be as this is not a wearing part.
