RE: Vitara 1991 brake booster replacement - fixkick - 08-07-2020
no ABS
LHD drive all, SE models, huge list, left hand drive.
the A60 , just means the booster came from Canada CAMI plant for E22 country German.
A30 is Japan made.is
also the vacuum nipple is not on the same side, by LHD and RHD.
this is very common in suzuki world back them, special P/N code Japan, CAMI, Santana SPAIN and Mygar....
the cami plant even exported E22 version to Germany, seen that before. and is odd.
it may be on the nipple location. vac.

Alright. Thanks.
Then I guess I will order the A60 part as every store either has no stock/no availability for A30 or its +50-100% price compared to A60.
If pictures have it correct, there is slight difference between the vacuum hose nipple .. A30 has straight and A60 has 90 degree curve there.

Just a update in case someone else swaps original 5130060A30 to 5130060A60 brake booster, there are few minor issues.
1) You might need to re-adjust the booster's nut. We had to, but we also changed the master brake sylidner, so can't be exactly sure if that caused it. But with eye-visual check it looked like the new booster is not 1:1 and probably will require adjusting the piston.
2) At least on my Vitara we had to hammer a small 1" x 1" dent into the left front wheel housing to fit the booster as we did not want to drill new holes into the firewall. Basically we just used large hammer to carefully hit the wheel well from the engine compartment side.
Dent is so small that there is zero danger for wheel to hit it when turning. But you probably should have primer and paint ready to avoid rusting. At least we had to repaint after hammering.
Anyhow we got it working and brakes are much better than ever after buying the car.
