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.
