Saab Power Brake Booster Vacuum Pump - Genuine Saab 55561099

Product Information

A power brake booster vacuum pump is a component that provides the necessary vacuum pressure for the brake booster, ensuring consistent braking assistance. This is especially important in vehicles with turbocharged, supercharged, or diesel engines, where natural engine vacuum may be insufficient. By supplying stable vacuum pressure, the pump allows the brake booster to reduce pedal effort, improving braking efficiency and driver control.

• Hard or stiff brake pedal, requiring more effort to stop the vehicle.
• Longer stopping distances, due to reduced brake assist.
• Unusual noises (whining or clicking) from the pump, often signaling wear or failure.

About Genuine Saab

The original parts used by Saab to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Saab” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Saab, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Saab Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Saab are not necessarily manufactured by Saab. No cause for concern, as Saab designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Saab for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Saab parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Saab logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
