Brake roller testing was done at the Mt Albert campus. We worked on a Mitsubishi lancer and the brakes stayed with in 30% for all four wheels and that's good enough to pass.
Adjusting push rod
The length of the push rod can be adjusted to reduce the clearance between the piston and the push rod. To find out how much the push rod had to be adjusted we measured the length of it from the surface of the booster to the end of the rod. We measured the inside of the master cylinder from the outside edge to the piston and subtracted the distance from the surface that gets bolted to the booster to the outside edge that goes into the booster. We then took the measurement of the length inside the cylinder and subtracted the length of the rod to fined the clearance and how much adjustment the push rod needed. If the clearance is correct the brakes will be more responsive and it could reduce a vehicles stopping distance.
