Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically replaces all the little gaskets and seals inside your vacuum pump. The pump itself creates the vacuum needed for things like your power brakes and sometimes even other systems. The gaskets are what keep everything sealed up tight inside the pump so it can actually pull that vacuum. It's a complete refresh of all the sealing surfaces. Your vacuum pump is part of your braking system, specifically powering things like your brake booster. That booster is what helps you stop without having to press super hard on the pedal. The pump draws a vacuum and that vacuum is what gives you that power assist. The gaskets are essential for the pump to create that vacuum in the first place. You’ll notice if the vacuum pump isn’t working right because your brake pedal will feel hard and require a lot more effort to push down. It can also affect things like your 4 – wheel drive system if it uses vacuum to engage.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, rubber and seals don’t last forever. Over time, heat, pressure, and just general wear and tear cause them to dry out, crack, or become brittle. When that happens, the pump starts to lose vacuum. You might not notice it right away, but it'll eventually lead to poor braking performance. Replacing these gaskets keeps the pump running efficiently and maintains proper brake function. It's a relatively inexpensive fix that can prevent a much bigger, and potentially dangerous, problem down the road. Fixparts Online has a good selection of these kits if you're looking for one. It’s a good idea to replace the whole kit while you have things apart, rather than trying to pinpoint just one bad gasket.
