Disc Brakes Australia (DBA) has announced the release of its new upgrade brake boosters, aimed at improving braking performance and safety for select 4WD models. These brake boosters are part of DBA’s new ‘Upgrade Performance’ line, specifically engineered to meet the challenges of towing, off-roading, and carrying heavy loads. With a focus on reliability and precision, DBA’s upgraded boosters promise to deliver a safer, more controlled driving experience.
Key Highlights:
- Enhanced Braking Power: Dual diaphragm technology provides increased braking force, making it easier for drivers to engage the braking system with minimal effort.
- Increased Braking Efficiency: Improves braking efficiency by up to 20%, ideal for 4WD vehicles handling heavier loads.
- Improved Emergency Stopping: Reduces emergency stopping distances through increased braking power and reduced pedal pressure.
- Durable Construction: Crafted from powder-coated steel for lasting reliability.
- Direct Bolt-In Replacement: Easy installation as a direct replacement for the original equipment.
The upgraded brake boosters utilize dual diaphragm technology to double the vacuum force, allowing for more effective and responsive braking with the same or less effort compared to a standard booster. This is particularly beneficial for 4WD vehicles that deal with towing, heavy loads, or challenging off-road conditions. By enhancing both routine and emergency braking performance, DBA aims to make driving safer and more efficient for 4WD enthusiasts.
The brake boosters are designed for direct bolt-in replacement, simplifying the upgrade process. Made from powder-coated steel, the boosters are durable and capable of withstanding the wear and tear of everyday use, offering reliable performance over time.
Installation Overview:
For those looking to install these upgraded brake boosters, the process is straightforward. Begin by draining the brake fluid from the master cylinder and carefully disconnecting the brake pipe, vacuum hose, and pushrod from the brake pedal. Once the old booster is removed from the firewall, ensure that the new booster is measured and adjusted to match the original dimensions for a perfect fit.
During reassembly, align the pushrod with the brake pedal and master cylinder piston, reinstalling all parts carefully. The system should then be filled with brake fluid, and any air should be bled from the pipes and ABS pump.
Final checks include verifying pedal height and operation, ensuring that the brake lights activate correctly, and testing the brakes with the engine running. Once these steps are complete, the vehicle can be taken for a road test to confirm proper performance.
Disc Brakes Australia‘s new upgraded brake boosters represent a significant improvement in braking technology for 4WDs, providing greater efficiency, power, and safety in demanding conditions.
