Detailed Description

This MPA Electrical brake booster is built for Ford E-150, E-250, E-350 Econoline, E-350 Super Duty, Econoline, and Club Wagon applications that use a vacuum-assisted brake system. The dual-diaphragm vacuum booster helps multiply pedal force so the brake system responds with less effort at the pedal.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard brake pedal feel
• Reduced brake assist from a failing vacuum booster
• Inconsistent pedal response during stops
• Brake system performance loss caused by vacuum seal issues
• Wear-related booster diaphragm or housing problems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses a vacuum brake booster and confirm master cylinder stud thread size before installation. Transfer or replace related brake components as needed, since the master cylinder is not included with this unit. Check pedal rod length, mounting points, and vacuum hose condition during service to help ensure proper brake assist after installation. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s exact year, model, and brake configuration before ordering.

Quality Assurance

MPA Electrical remanufactures this booster with new replacement and specially treated components, then subjects every unit to 100% end-of-line testing using proprietary test equipment. That process is used to verify vacuum seal performance, pressure transfer, and overall brake booster operation before release.
