BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2000 Ford Mustang AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> Adjustments -> Bendix Type -> Escort, Tracer & ZX2 -> Except Escort, Tracer & ZX2 -> Pushrod -> Single Diaphragm Booster
Vehicle: 2000 Ford Mustang 3.8 V6 GAS
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 matched during production should not require service adjustment. However, if the b...
