Ref. No. 87-106-5

Corp. Ref. No. 735005R
SUBJECT: SLOW OR INCOMPLETE SERVICE BRAKE PEDAL RETURN

MODELS AFFECTED: 1982-87 CENTURYS



Some Centurys may experience a slow or incomplete service brake pedal return as a result of a slight bind between the eyelet end of the brake booster pushrod and brake pedal arm attaching hardware. This condition can be repaired by replacing the original flat washer with a new precision, hardened washer, Part Number 10087739 (See Illustration). Adequately lubricate the pushrod and washers and retorque attaching nut, Part Number 11500756, to 35 N-m. After installing the new washer, recheck for slow or incomplete service brake pedal return by lightly applying the service brake several times with the engine running and observing the pedal return.
