Chevy Impala Vacuum Pumps & Parts

Although the actual, full vacuum is very hard to achieve within the Earth’s atmosphere, the phenomenon gives the name to an array of devices meant to remove gas from the space rather than add it in. A vacuum pump is no exception. In automobiles, the vacuum pump is used as a source of power boosting the brakes and operating various vehicle systems. In most gasoline engines, the vacuum appears as a side effect of the throttle restricting the flow through the intake system. However, diesels and certain advanced configurations of gasoline-fed motors don’t generate vacuum by design, while pressure is still required to power belts and pulleys. A vacuum pump is what allows this without a fundamental rebuild of the operated systems.

The vacuum pump in your Chevy Impala is, therefore, an important part that has to work properly. If it doesn't, you can expect to deal with a number of unfavorable consequences up to loss of brake assistance, and needless to say that driving safety will be compromised in this case. Use our reliable and lasting Chevy Impala vacuum pumps & components for a successful repair job.
