⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Carter - Auto Repair Shop Owner
"Installed the Cardone Power Brake Booster (A0014300708) on a 2001 ML W163 last month. The gas spring technology made a noticeable difference—pedal effort dropped significantly, and braking response is much sharper. The yellow reservoir is a game-changer for quick fluid checks. Installation was seamless thanks to the OEM-fit design. Built like a tank with that aluminum-steel hybrid construction."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Linda Park - Mercedes-Benz ML W163 Owner
"I replaced the brake booster myself over a weekend, and I’m thrilled with how smooth the process was. The clear labeling and compact design fit perfectly in my garage setup. After 6 months of daily driving, including highway commutes and mountain roads, the braking feels more confident than ever. The bright yellow reservoir makes checking fluid levels foolproof—great for solo maintenance."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Marcus Reed - Commercial Fleet Supervisor
"We upgraded several of our older W163-based service vehicles with the Cardone Advanced Model booster. The +15% pressure capacity has been essential when these trucks are fully loaded. Durability is outstanding—even after 7 months of constant stop-and-go use, no signs of wear. Only reason it’s not five stars is the slightly tighter clearance during installation in older engine bays."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diego Mendez - Overlanding Specialist
"I run my ML W163 on remote desert trails where reliable brakes are non-negotiable. The Pro Model with aerospace-grade materials has held up flawlessly through extreme heat, dust, and steep descents. The gas spring delivers consistent assist even after prolonged braking. That yellow reservoir? Lifesaver during remote checks. This isn’t just a replacement—it’s an upgrade."Purchase Date: April 2025 | Usage Period: 2 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elena Vasquez - Automotive Customization Garage
"Used the customizable mounting bracket option to integrate this booster into a modified braking system. The ability to tune spring pressure and adjust material thickness gave us precise control over pedal feel. It maintains OEM compatibility while supporting higher hydraulic demand. A rare part that works perfectly for both stock and tuned applications."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
