...a brake booster? I tried to look it up online but when I would go to the web sites nothing came up as far as being able to order a brake booster? What is it and where can I get one online?
My car is making a noise like there is an air leak. Sounds like it's coming from the car speakers? I took my car in to get spark plugs put in and the guy says I need a brake booster? The brake light has been on for a few days so there's definitely something not right.
 
open the hood and look at the rear of the motor, that metal wall is called the firewall. Mounted on the firewall behind the drivers side tire and above the steering rod is a coke can sized container that holds brake fluid. This brake fluid reservoir is attached to the brake booster.
The brake booster is what gives your vehicle power brakes. If it weren't for the booster all your braking power would come from manual pressure on the pedal and that will make your brakes feel very weak.
