1052, problems with brakes
Posted by ace0, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
What's up everybody?
My name is Steve & I am a member of ASOG.

I was wondering if any of you have experienced this
with your brakes since our brake systems are similar.

About 2 months ago I installed slotted
rotors & repco/axxis metalmaster pads on the front
wheels,and Goodridge stainless steel braided lines all around.

The problem I am having is during an emergency stop I can
feel the brake pedal go all the way down. I have bled the
brakes several times (at least two quarts of fluid). There
are no leaks at the calipers or master cylinder. The fluid
level is always full.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

I'm not an expert on brakes, but I have done a good amount of work with them....including mine. I'm not sure what year your car is, but you might be experiencing blow by either inside the power booster or the master cylinder. I replaced the master cylinder on a Caravan that was experiencing the same thing as you are describing. What was happening was the seals inside the master cylinder were allowing fluid to pass through instead of compressing it, hence, the pedal going to the floor. Like I said, I'm not sure but it's a suggestion?
