Pushrod Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the brake pedal pushrod from the brake pedal. Inspect the brake pedal pushrod eyelet bushing for cracks and/or excessive wear. See Figure . Reposition the pedal pushrod boot toward the front of the vehicle to expose as much of the pedal pushrod as possible.
- Inspect the brake pedal pushrod for straightness. If the brake pedal pushrod eyelet bushing exhibited cracks and/or excessive wear, then the bushing requires replacement. If the brake pedal pushrod is not straight, then the pushrod requires replacement.
- Return the pedal pushrod boot to its original position on the pedal pushrod. Connect the brake pedal pushrod to the brake pedal.
