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.

Do not use brake fluid drained from the hydraulic system when bleeding the brakes. Be sure the disc brake pistons are returned to their normal positions and the shoe and lining assemblies are properly seated. Before driving the vehicle, inspect brake operation to be sure a firm pedal has been ob...
