brake booster

[cudachall74]

  the brake booster on my 74 challenger seems to have failed makes a hissing noise then the pedal goes almost to the floor and the brakes then come on hard is this a booster problem or something else.anyway i took the booster off and took it to a local brake shop they say no kit available to repair and cant get a replacement where would be the best place to buy one from and get it shipped to australia any info would be greatly appreciated

 This is the place I use, Booster Dewey he is in Oregon USA tel #503 238-8882, He can rebuild your old booster or may have one to exchange, very reasonable too! I am getting one boxed up right now to send to him.

thanks for the replies .as im in australia does booster dewey have a website or can anyone sugest an online store.i have found a few on line stores that have the boosters or booster kits just not sure about the quality.

[cudachall74]

ok i found their website i will contact them to see how much they will charge for one with out a exchange. still wondering what the quality of the copys would be like,the master cylinder looks ok but its probably the orig mite be worth replacing both at the same time

I suggest that you replace both booster and master cylinder at the same time.

I live in Oklahoma.  I know you are not in the U.S.A. but I just got mine overhauled at Tulsa Brake and Clutch.  $130 out the door.  When I went in, I ask to have my old one back but if I had to exchange it for a rebuilt one, it would be OK.  They told me that I would get mine back because there where none available to exchange.

  I just had the Bendix dual diaghram booster from my Road Runner rebuilt at this one in Upland, CA, Karps Power Brake Service Tel#909-985-0800 very nice people to do business with too!

Is the brake booster check valve ok?  Mine was cracked and did the same thing.  They get brittle and break easily.  That is the cheapest part to change unless you hear the hissing from another area of the booster.  Good luck.
Rockauto.com has reman brake booster with master cylinder.  Not sure what motor you have, but check out their website.  Try this link if it takes you to the part they have there.  This is for a 318 or 360 motor.
