About this product

GM Genuine Parts Power Brake Boosters are designed, engineered, and tested to rigorous standards, and are backed by General Motors. These boosters connect the brake pedal apply system to the master cylinder. The brake booster is a force multiplier that causes additional force to be applied to the master cylinder for additional braking power. GM Genuine Parts are the true OE parts installed during the production of or validated by General Motors for GM vehicles. Some GM Genuine Parts may have formerly appeared as ACDelco GM Original Equipment (OE).

  • Inspection of the brake hoses for brittleness or cracking.
