Product Details

Cardone’s Vacuum Power Brake Booster line focuses on remanufactured brake assist components that are re-engineered and tested to meet original equipment standards. For this application, part number 53-2165 uses an 8.28-inch diaphragm diameter, an M8 x 1.25 master cylinder stud thread size, and a single diaphragm style to align with the factory brake system layout. This part cross-references Toyota 4461016150 for the same application.

Common Brake Assist Issues It Can Address

• Hard brake pedal feel caused by reduced vacuum assist
• Inconsistent brake boost during normal stopping
• Brake system performance loss from a worn booster diaphragm
• Vacuum leaks related to aging booster seals or check valves
• Fitment problems when replacing a failed original booster on a Toyota Tercel

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is a 1985-1988 Toyota Tercel and confirm the application is for vehicles lacking master cylinders before installation. Compare the original booster, mounting points, and master cylinder stud thread size to the replacement unit. The package includes the booster and instruction manual; master cylinder is not included.
