It is a system that uses hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump rather than typical engine vacuum to provide the power assistance needed to brake your vehicle.

It is use to assist the driver in stopping the car. It is constructed to take regular foot pressure and multiply it many times to stop the car. Without it you don't have power brakes.

A hydro brake booster (hydraulic brake booster) is a power assist for brakes that uses hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering pump to apply pressure to the brake calipers. Conventional brake systems use a separate vacuum booster to apply pressure.

A hydro brake booster uses the power steering pump to provide extra braking assist instead of engine vacuum. It's important to keep the power steering fluid topped up.

The hydro brake booster is the booster that supplies the brake fluid to the caliper and makes sure your brakes are working. You can test the booster by taking the cap of the resevoir and hit the pedal. If it shoots out your booster is no good.

A hydro brake booster is a mechanism to help create more hydraulic pressure in the brake system. Usually, most cars are fitted with vacuum boosters, hydro boosters use hydraulic pressure instead.
