Braking vehicles, especially at high speeds, requires considerable effort. Achieving this simply by pressing the brake pedal involves a great deal of effort. The installation of so-called brake boosters has therefore been established for several decades, which, as motor vehicle parts, increase the desired braking effect and ensure greater braking performance with little effort on the part of the driver. The car part can be subject to wear and tear or technical defects over the years, so you can find the desired braking effect quickly and inexpensively with the appropriate spare part from the Q-Parts24 online shop. With us you will find brake boosters from ATE, Bosch and other well-known brands. Enjoy quality spare parts and fast delivery at Q-Parts24.
The brake booster is installed centrally in your vehicle and does not act like brake discs, brake pads and more on each individual wheel. The brake booster is activated as soon as you step on the brake pedal of your vehicle and initiate the braking process. In addition to the pressure on the main brake cylinder to release hydraulic fluid in the brake system, there is a pressure change in a surrounding working membrane, which is the heart of the brake booster. The change in pressure releases additional forces that add to the actual braking force of your braking system.
In its idle state, there is a vacuum in the system, which makes it easy to check the functionality of the brake booster. When the vehicle is at rest, for example, the brake pedal can be depressed several times, which requires greater effort with each step. This eliminates the vacuum in the system. If the brake pedal remains depressed and the engine is started, the brake pedal should give way because a new vacuum is created in the system. If this does not happen, the automotive part is likely to have a defect such as a leak that is causing an unwanted flow of air.
A detected defect in the brake booster has a significant impact on the braking process and the safety of your vehicle on the road. Due to the lack of support, the vehicle is no longer braked in the usual way and the braking distances increase accordingly. It is not possible to physically apply the additional force with the leg muscles by pressing the pedal harder.
Similar to the wear of your brake discs or pads, brake booster wear is often a gradual process. Tiny cracks can appear on this automotive part over the course of months and years, affecting the vacuum in the system. A regular check by inspections shows whether the brakes apply sufficient force and whether there is a limited braking effect even with new brake discs and brake pads. In order to always brake with maximum force, you should invest in the appropriate spare parts in good time, whereby the QP24 online shop makes ordering easier for you thanks to attractive prices.
