Method and apparatus for positioning an end of a push rod of a brake actuator

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for positioning components of a brake system, which includes a push rod (40), a ball end (44) coupled to the push rod (40), and a force transfer (50) member placed between the push rod (40) and the ball end (44). The force transfer member (50) has both a flowable property and a solidifying property, whereby the force transfer member (50) is flowable when being placed between the push rod (40) and ball end (44) and, after a passage of time, the force transfer member solidifies.
