    Brake booster seal

    Anyone know if they make a replacement seal for the "Bellows" looking seal on the brake pedal side of the brake booster? mine is cracked / ripped, and the hissing noise is drving me nuts! The brakes work fine, so I think it is a small hole / rip... someone told me once you could just replace that "boot" on it... but I can't seem to find one in any of the catalogs... It seems to make more noise when it is cold out... So it is really hissing right now!

    Here is the "boot" i was talking about...



    Also, it only makes the hissing noise when you press on the brakes... all other times it is quiet....

      usually that indicates the booster itself has a tear in the diaphragm and needs to be replaced. Its normal to get a whoosh when you first apply the brakes, but if its a steady hiss, thats not normal.

        The boot is just a dust cover.
