Hey all,
So I took my old booster out today unscrewed the retaining ring and had a look inside - nothing to it really. I did find pieces of my check valve inside the booster Aha! moment... maybe this is why my brakes are locking. I do have a question on the actual physics of this thing.
There is a constant vacuum from the manifold to the check valve on the booster.
The check valve stays closed UNTIL the brake is applied which opens the check valve to allow the vacuum to assist in braking ?
My brakes were locking all four discs after just a few miles... Because my check valve wasnt working and the unchecked vacuum was slowly applying brakes ?
Thanks in advance.
