front brakes dragging
I just replaced the master cylinder and brake booster on my 78 f250 w/dual calipers after my front right brake has been dragging. Now both front brakes are dragging with the front right still dragging more. What could cause this?

I read a thread somewhere in here about an adjuster rod between the booster and the master cyl. I wonder if the master is slightly activated all the time? Also could be brake lines failed on the inside, Corroded caliper slides or the slides are just dry and sticking, holding the inner pad tight to the rotor all the time.

You will need to remove the two nuts that hold the master cylinder. On the Power Booster, behind the master cylinder, there is a rod, at the end of the rod is a screw.
From the power booster to the tip of the rod it should measure anywhere from 0.985 inch to 0.990 inch.
