Brake Pedal Assy: Adjustments
On brake master cylinder or dash-mounted power brake booster equipped vehicles, the brake systems are designed to permit a full stroke of the brake
master cylinder when the brake pedal is fully depressed. A brake pedal clearance adjustment is not required.
To release the brakes, fluid must flow back to the master cylinder through a return port when pedal pressure is released. To be sure the piston moves
back far enough to expose the return port, free-travel is in to the pedal linkage on standard booster systems. This prevents the piston from becoming
trapped in a partially released position. Pedal-free travel is not always perceptible in dash-mounted power brake booster systems, because the operating
clearance for the piston is adjusted at the booster push rod, rather than the brake pedal linkage.
