Re: [Chrysler300] 62 Power Brake Booster

["Gary Holm" <gholm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

?? for the group;    I have a 61 G convt. , that has a problem with the booster ( I think)  The pedal, when depressed, feels like hits something then breaks lose and then works normal , or if pumped than it works, as normal. This has been doing this since I rebuilt booster. .  Brakes are good as long as I pump it.  It only does this only about 50% of the time.  Is there some adjustment with the rods, inside the booster?  The booster looks like the same as the 62 , am I right??  The brakes worked correctly before I rebuilt the  the booster.  Gary Holm in sunny So. Oregon

  Hi Mark,

  Thank you for your reply! Your solution to the problem sounds like it will work on my H as well. It's the onle explanation that makes sense to me.

  I think that I have an original booster on my car, but after 46 years, who knows.

  Did you encounter any problems with removing and replacing the push rod from the booster?

  Thanks again,
  Doug Warrener

  Hi Doug,
  I had the same problem with my H. My pedal traveled almost to the floor so I felt really uncomfortable driving the car. I tried adjusting the rod, and the brakes locked up until I returned the adjustment to the original position. I finally found the solution. I removed the push rod that connects to the brake pedal and protrudes into the booster. I took it to work and had our tool maker duplicate one that was about 3/16 inch longer than the original one. Now the brakes work fine. Turns out I have the wrong booster on the car.

  Hi Group,

  I need some expert help in understanding a problem with the "push rods" in the 
  power brake booster on my 300H.
  I obtained this H about two years ago, and the brake pedal has always had about 
  3/4 inch of free play. 
  After completely going through the entire system ( drums, shoes.wheel and master 
  cylinders, bleeding and replacing the fluid and adjustments), I have finally 
  determined that the problem is inside the power brake booster.
  The push rod that engages the master cylinder piston was adjusted properly and I 
  determined that the pedal free play was between the two push rods somewhere 
  inside the booster.
  I then adjusted out the push rod to the master cylinder piston until most of the 
  free play was eliminated.
  As you can guess the brakes locked up, and I have now re-adjusted the push rod 
  to it's original position and again have the free play in the petal.

  Thanks in advance for your help and comments,
  Doug Warrener
