Hydroboost Question

[87Turbo-TWE4]

When I go to the parts store to get everything I need, do I tell the guy to look under '84 Grand National for all the part numbers?

Yup,i just ordered some of my parts from GMPartsDirect.com.

Only thing available that's better than Cardone is good used GM. I bought a new Cardone one form Oriellys and ended up swapping the new internals into the old GM housing to get it to work right. I've heard of a couple others that had issues with the reman ones as well. So if you have a GM one on there now...don't turn it in for the core charge till you make sure yours is working. I think the core charge is only 20-30 bucks anyway. HTH ---Keith

i am gonna order a rebuild kit for my leaking hydroboost amd fix it myself.. i figure the $39.95 for the kit is a better deal than the $120 or whatever a reman unit goes for these days.

Good plan. Just outta curiosity, what all is included in the rebuild kit??

about $5 worth of o rings and seals. for either $39.95 or $60, depending on which kit you order.

Thanks for the part numbers. I went to Advance's site and they show the booster to be $205 plus $20 for the core. And wouldn't you know they are out of stock in my area.

Shop around. There was a significant price difference between parts stores. Try oriellys, thats where i got mine.

Is this kit for the master cylinder?? I would think a rebuild kit for the booster would include a new spool valve and accumulator piston. The only o-ring in the booster is the one that seals the housing.
