Product Details

The Cardone Vacuum Power Brake Booster line focuses on remanufactured brake assist components that are re-engineered from original designs and checked for durability improvements where possible. Part number 53-8041 follows that approach with a single-diaphragm steel construction, pre-adjusted output rod where included, and a finish process intended to help resist corrosion over time. This makes it a practical replacement for drivers searching for a remanufactured brake booster for 2007-2013 Acura MDX or 2010-2013 Acura ZDX applications.

This part cross-references Acura 01469STXA00 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard brake pedal feel caused by reduced vacuum assist
• Loss of consistent brake boost during normal driving
• Brake booster leakage related to worn internal seals or check valves
• Fitment issues when replacing an original vacuum power brake booster
• Corrosion-related deterioration on the booster housing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify that the vehicle uses a vacuum power brake booster and does not include a master cylinder before ordering. Confirm the master cylinder stud thread size and inspect the master cylinder neck seal during installation. On Acura MDX and Acura ZDX models, proper pedal feel depends on correct booster mounting, vacuum line condition, and accurate linkage adjustment.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured boosters are built and tested to meet OE performance expectations. Each unit is 100% tested for reliable operation, and the design includes OE-quality seals and check valves to support like-new function.
