Product Details

This Cardone Vacuum Power Brake Booster line focuses on remanufactured brake boosters that are re-engineered and tested to meet OE performance expectations. Part number 54-72505 uses a dual diaphragm style with an 8.285-inch diaphragm diameter and an M8 x 1.25 master cylinder stud thread size. It is a direct replacement for select 1997-2003 Ford Escort and 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer models that were built without master cylinders. This part cross-references Ford and Mercury OE numbers F7CZ2005AD and F8CZ2005AA for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard brake pedal feel from a weak or failing booster
• Reduced vacuum assist during braking
• Brake pedal effort that has increased over time
• Brake assist loss caused by internal diaphragm or seal wear
• Fitment issues when replacing an original booster on Escort or Tracer applications

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle is a 1997-2003 Ford Escort or 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer with the correct vacuum power brake booster application before installation. Confirm master cylinder stud thread size, booster depth, and firewall alignment against the original unit. The booster is remanufactured for direct replacement use, and the pre-adjusted output rod feature applies when included with the unit.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured brake boosters are re-engineered and tested to match OE performance, with design updates applied where applicable to improve durability. Every unit is 100% tested to confirm fit and function before release.
