🔒 Enhanced Brake Booster Review

, Ford has listed two 2005 part numbers for all 2004-2006 Ford Escape vehicles. The Motorcraft BRB31 is listed as 2005 but will not fit the 2005 Ford Escape 3.0L V6 with 2 disc front / 2 drum rear automatic transmission. The other part listed that actually fits this car is the Ford 5L8Z-2002-BA. Installing the BRB31 on this particular model as described above will offset the master cylinder 20 degrees and cause brake fluid to leak.

Revain and other online auto parts retailers get an error when checking compatibility because the description doesn't indicate whether the brake booster is for rear disc or drum use brakes . It may vary depending on engine size, 2- or 4WD or model type. I have rear drum brakes. The booster physically fits, but when the master cylinder is installed, it deflects 20 degrees and leaks. Most escape boosters are designed for rear disc brakes. Check carefully before buying rear drum brakes.

Car: Ford Escape XLT V6 AWD, 2005 Works well. The stem is a bit short compared to the original part, so I had to redesign the brake and cruise control knobs. I used furniture pushers; Some people have suggested gluing things like coins together. Otherwise there are no problems with the detail. It comes with two nuts for fixing the master cylinder. Otherwise no further details. I have replaced the brake booster twice on this car and would have gotten a new part instead of a reconditioned one…
