RE 1990 imperial qestions

[ivanbruckman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Bob,

I don't write to the club very often, but that you'd like to know the you 
better replace that power booster before it's too late.  I have a '93 that sits 
in my back yard gathering snow, mud and other sundrie particles.  This is 
because I went to long on replacing the power booster and my whole brake system 
is now down and contaminated to the toon of $1800.  I can't do the work myself 
and can't afford it, soooo, it sits.  Hopefully, your's cheaper and you can do 
the work.  Good Luck.

Ivan

I have a 91...after i have driven a few miles and go around a cloverleaf
ramp, my brake light comes on also.  There is no reduction in braking at
all....just the light on the dash. I have been told  by several people that
the pump is slowly going out and will probably need to be replaced soon. I
have had this situation for two years now and it keeps on ticking...go
figure.

I have been told that there are two different boost pumps that were
installed in these late Imperials. One made by Bosch and the other by Bendix. 
The 
Bosch pump is the expensive one to replace. It has been suggested that I
completly get rid of the ABS system and install a non abs from a New Yorker
or a Dynasty.

In regard to your air ride system.  Buko bucks to fix. I had the same
problem in my 91. The front struts finally gave up the ghost. I checked into
replacing them, but, the only place I could find them was at a Chrysler
dealer. $927.00 each.  I love my 91...but that was out of the question.

I went to my local mechanic, and he told me that he had done several
conversions to a conventional suspension.  I ended up using the front struts 
and 
and all the mounting brackets and stuff from a 90 Dyansty. 
For the rears I...he installed a set of Gabriel hi-jackers air shocks.

All told ...it cost me about $650.00 and it rides like a dream. I cannot
tell any difference at all in the ride. 

Hope that helps
