Why is it that when I partially depress my brake I get a thumping noise under the hood, when I fully depress it it stops? I checked the calipers and rotors and they look fine, the wheels don't shimmy or anything so I figure it is something under the hood just can't tell what.

    How do I trouble shoot my master cylinder for a booster problem?

    Operational test: with engine off, pump brake pedal until all vacuum is depleted from booster and pedal is hard. Hold pedal down and start engine. Pedal should drop some.
    Leakage test: Run engine. Without stepping on brake pedal, shut engine off. Wait 2 minutes then with engine off apply brakes. Should be enough reserve vacuum in booster for 2 brake applications.
