I need some brake booster advice. The original brake booster failed on my 1995 80, the pedal went rock hard which required 2 feet to stop it Flinstone style. I decided to purchase a replacement rebuilt 'Cardone' booster off of Rock Auto. Since its been installed the brake pedal does not feel right. It feels spongy and requires more effort at the same time to engage the brakes. The first few stops were good and then the pedal feeling changed. When at a stop light if I lightly let off the pedal the vehicle starts to creep forward. If I am pressing the brake firmly while stopped I can hear air leaking from the booster under the dash.
Is this booster faulty out of the box or is there an adjustment that I am missing? The push rod was adjusted back to the same length with the original booster. Any help or feedback would be great.
Thanks in advance!
