Master Cylinder Push Rod: Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2000 Mazda Protege, 2000 Mazda Millenia, 2000 Mazda MPV, 2000 Mazda 626, and 1999 Mazda Protege. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Push rod has an adjustment screw to maintain correct distance between booster push rod and master cylinder piston. If push rod is adjusted too long, it prevents master cylinder piston from completely releasing hydraulic pressure, causing brakes to drag. If push rod is adjusted too short, it causes excessive pedal travel and an undesirable clunk in booster area.
