Power Brake Units -> Adjustments -> Bendix Type -> PUSHROD -> Single Diaphragm Booster
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 V8 GAS

On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes refer to appropriate "Anti-Lock Brakes".

PUSHROD

Proper adjustment of the master cylinder pushrod is necessary to ensure proper operation of the power brake system. A pushrod that is too long will prevent the master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure, eventually, causing the brakes to drag. A pushrod that is too short will cause excessive brake pedal travel and cause groaning noises to come from the booster when the brakes are applied. A properly adjusted pushrod that remains assembled to the booster with which is was ...

Vehicle: 1992 Ford Thunderbird SC 3.8 V6 GAS

FRONT & REAR SPLIT SYSTEMS

When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and the secondary (rear brake) master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective independent hydraulic systems. The fluid displacement of the master cylinder is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems, Fig. .

If a failure of a rear (secondary) brake system should occur, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary p...

Hydraulic Brake Systems -> HYDRAULIC TUBING -> DOUBLE FLARE/INVERTED SEAT
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Thunderbird 3.8 V6 GAS

Never use copper tubing as a replacement for steel tubing. Copper tubing is subject to fatigue cracking and corrosion which could result in brake system failure.

Steel tubing is used to conduct hydraulic pressure to the brakes. All fittings, tubing and hose should be inspected for rusted, damaged or defective flared seats. The tubing is equipped with a double flare/inverted seat or I.S.O. flare to insure more positive seating in the fitting. To repair or reflare tubing, proceed as follows:

DOUBLE FLARE/INVERTED SEAT
  • Cut off the damaged seat or damaged tubing.
  • Ream out any burrs or ...
