Product Details

The Cardone Vacuum Power Brake Booster line focuses on remanufactured brake boosters that are re-engineered and tested to meet original equipment standards. Part number 54-72673 uses a single diaphragm and includes a booster, instruction manual, and M/C neck seal. The unit is finished in gray and uses an M8 x 1.25 master cylinder stud thread size.

This part cross-references Ford 2S712005AC and Mercury F7RZ2005AA for the same application. It is a direct replacement for select 1997-2000 Ford Contour, 1997-2000 Mercury Mystique, and 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar brake booster applications.

What It Helps Fix

• Hard brake pedal feel
• Reduced brake assist from a failing vacuum booster
• Brake pedal effort that has increased over time
• Loss of consistent power brake response
• Brake system issues caused by booster wear or internal seal failure

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle application before installation, especially on models listed as lacking master cylinders. Confirm the master cylinder stud thread size and booster mounting configuration match the original unit. The pre-adjusted output rod feature can help reduce setup time when applicable, and the included instruction manual should be followed during installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactures this power brake booster to original equipment standards and tests every unit for fit and function. The unit also uses O.E.-quality seals and check valves, along with a rust-resistant finish, to support reliable service life.
