Thumbs down Re: ProwlerGT's 3000GT Revival Thread - Start Up

Well I am a bit discouraged. The new/used booster is back on the car and the popping feeling I thought that was gone is still there. It is so hard to describe, but its like a moderate THUD sound and feeling through my foot when I get close to pushing the brake pedal all the way down. I know from having driven it this way for a long time the brakes will still work, but I also know that I shouldn't be feeling/hearing this THUD/POP noise.

I have COMPLETELY replaced the entire braking system with the exception of the proportioning valve which is in a really crappy spot however it does not make sense to me that this would be causing a THUD feeling/sound. After having replaced everything else that you'd normally do I can only now look at the big bushing for the brake pedal arm itself and/or any of the rest of the brake pedal assembly under the dash.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS HERE? If I'm worried about the thud for no reason if it IS in fact the brake pedal arm pivot bushing it'll just make a THUD feeling/sound and I'm sure it'll never just COME OFF, but seems like I should replace that now too. I'm at a loss here though because the damn service manual is exhausted for what I'm trying to eliminate. I see nothing in there about it and I'm still thinking that the brake pedal height is incorrect in the service manual for FWD NA ATX cars cause 7.0" is not an attainable pedal height for my setup.
