Dave (180) - Hope I got your name correct. Anyway, some time ago I think you had a posting with a diagram showing the brake push rod, master, and booster. Am I correct? I would like to see that again but not sure what to look under.

What I'm getting at is: #1 would a longer push rod solve the brake travel problem, #2 Does anyone make a longer push rod or is there an existing push rod that can be adapted, #3 Could the problem with travel and soft pedal be related to the brake booster. If the excessive travel is inside the brake booster, can it be modified or replace with some other booster that is better? I would NOT want to remove the existing push rod, cut it, weld in a matching piece thus giving me a longer rod. I don't want any welded part's in the brake system. Weld's are not foolproof. Another thing I noticed, before starting the engine I can press on the brake pedal, force of habit, and it has very little travel and is hard as a rock. Start the engine and the pedal goes down and gets spongy.

If you have any idea's I'd love to hear them. I'm sure we'll never get brakes as good as the Jeep I mentioned, but any improvement would be welcomed. I've been to two shops that I trust completely. They've checked everything, ie. master cylinder, calipers, brake lines, bleeding several times, and neither shop can find anything wrong. I've put on new rotors, ceramic pads, stainless brake lines with very little, some, but very little improvement.

Everyone's thoughts are welcomed. GraphiteGhost - I bet your right, Chrysler/Jeep will issue a recall because something does work properly.
