It's a good thing they used a rod that can be screwed in or out for adjustment, someone was thinking when they designed it.
That's what I figured. I've convinced myself the booster push rod position changes slightly when vacuum is applied so there would have to be some kind of initial clearance. That's the only way I can justify why the FSM says to check everything while under vacuum. I guess I'll measured the clearance on my stock booster and MC and start with that.
