| Re: just a thourght. if yours had abs then dont worry because the master cylinder will have pressure sensitive ports... if yours doesn't have abs it does need adjusting, it's just one nut oand bolt iirc, trouble is you need to adjust it with the wieght of the car still resting on the suspension so it's difficult to do at home |
