Default brakes wtf

ok heres the problem today i was just ridin when my brake pedal just got stiff.. It still had a little stop but not alot i think it might be the booster. And when i push the pedal all the way down air sounds like its leaking out into the car.. and the idle just jumps around like skipping sounding (if you know what i mean)
thanks

Sounds like booster as that is what makes the pedal easy to push down. When MCs go bad the pedal sinks to the floor.

just get an OE brake booster, but check the vacuum hoses coming off the brake booster first, because if its just a cracked hose, then its a lot cheaper to fix

it shoulden be to hard if u got the a stock motor in there but with a swap it can get tricky


and well if u can't get a OEM replacement I got one that I replaced w/ a ITR instead have the M/C too

but it is ur booster either a leak or shot


and yeah u lucky ur brakes didn't go out and slamm into someone

my friend did that but he knew about it and waited a bit to long to change or replace it

Moran huh???

test your booster, just pump your brakes 5 times wit the car off ,then turn the car on if the pedal drops a lil it meand the booster is working if its still stiff then its your booster
