Brake Booster Question, Havin some troubles..need some Ideas
I replaced the booster on my Crx about 3months ago, Ive noticed that the brakes are sticking now. I tried to set it similar to my oem one, but I guess it didnt work out.
When you disconnect the booster Vac line, the wheels will release. When connected and the brake is pumped up they start sticking again.
Ive adjusted it all the way out, then in, and nothing has changed. Still sticks
Think its bad?
btw its an autozone part.....
Ive got a really bad wobble also, my rotors are shot. Do you think the brakes sticking to warped rotors would cause a wobble to start around 60-90? occurs w/o braking or throttle.

The check valve in your booster vaccumm feed could be backwards, and causing the booster to be "overboosted", or maybe there's a check valve in the booster itself that is not releasing the pressure when you let the brake pedal go. Or I could be talking out my ***, as I'm really not that familiar with the inner workings of the booster.

I checked the valve, looked to see it was facing correct direction, blew threw it, replaced it an extra. Its good.

How do I do that? Its not releasing the pressure. WHen I pull the Valve out it hiss's air out like a champ.
