I seem to be having trouble with my brakes. I think that the power booster pushrod is pressing against the master cylinder and causing the brakes to drag ever so slightly. At high speeds, the rotors heat up, causing the steering wheel to shake. After a short while, you then begin to smell the brake pads and you can feel the heat off the rotors. Is there a special procedure to adjust the booster pushrod? I can't seem to get it to change its position in relation to the booster. I've had the booster off the car and moved the adjuster nut on the back of the booster, which I thought would change the relation of the pushrod, but it has not made any difference. When the master cylinder is attached to the booster, there should be clearance between the pushrod and master cylinder piston (1/32 in.) I'm going crazy with this problem.....any help is appreciated.
