Im sorry to have taken so long.... Busy life at the moment.. So it was the brake hose.. However I am having a hard time finding the correct brake pads now. This little ho-dunk town keeps getting the wrong ones.. Does anyone have a part number for the front brake pads for an 08 msp3?

I was thinking baout the slide pins myself. I didnt do any brake work on it however the person I got it off of put drilled and slotted rotors on it at one point so they have so they did some work at one point. Ill take a look a that for sure. Im not sure what you mean by needle the brakes. But...

I can feel it when I push in the clutch. And when I dont come to a complete stop and do a very slight roll to a stop I can feel the brakes after I applied them to slow down

ok, so the brakes are really stiff. I was going through the forums here and found this article https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/brakes-get-really-stiff-after-accelerating.11771/ .... this describes almost perfect what it is doing accept I also the brakes are very slightly applied...

sorry it took so long. We got it done today and that defintely wasnt the problem. Still have very stiff brakes. And after a stop there is a sec or 2 where the brakes are still slightly applied not much but just slightly till I take off again. Any ideas?

got it ty.. the checkvalve should be here this weekend. Ill try to get it done then and post an update.

just to be clear I need to intall the check valve to prevent from backfeeding into the booster?

will do! Thank you for the help. Ill update you once I get it done. Turns out they had to order the part. Looks like I wont know if it works untill possible nexr weekend.

Nevermind my local napa has what they are calling a universal one. Ill give it a shot. Thank you for the help!

I want to thank everyone that has helped me so far! This is an awesome community A little about me. I have been a gearhead for a very long time. Im 50 but my primary knowledge is of oldschool cars. I guess now thaty I ihave this car I can be called Fat and Furious! lol I have an 08...

awesome ty for the reply! Where can I get the check valve? Also I am asumming that I can use any standard vacuum line as long as it fits

Anyone? I really could use some help on this.

SO the checkvalve on my brake booster vacuum line has failed. The part number is BA6R43630. I can not find anyone anywhere that has one. Any ideas how to go about finding one or are there any workarounds that are safe lol. As always I appreciate the help.

Ill do that as soon as I get her down from the ramps. Right now it looks like shes going to be there at least for another week. Life is taking priority at the moment lol.

Im sorry for the late update.. I was able to go out today and work a bit on it and vola! It was right where you pointed me to. Thank you so much. I still have quite a bit to do on the car but I am very much looking forward to getting it done. Thanks again
