Replaced MC today, but while in there noticed the pushrod that actuates the MC was free-floating inside the booster. So. . . pulled it out and out it came along with what I assume is its retainer -- a brass-collared collar with several little tabs all the way around. This part didn't seem to be damaged or bent in any way.
That didn't seem right to me. I can't, however, see inside the booster without removing it from the car, so can anyone who knows tell me if that pushrod is only held in there by spring compression between the MC and the diaphragm or is that collar supposed to lock into something on the booster.
91 318 with stock booster. Plan is to M/S50 eventually, so I'd get the correct booster for the swap now if something's wrong with the current one.
