Brake issues

[kyleag89]

Ok so lately my brakes have been getting bad. I checked the booster check valve and it is good and there is plenty of vacuum. The pedal is hard after 3 pumps with engine off and it fades to the floor when I start the engine. When stopping at speeds higher than 35mph you have to press the pedal very hard to stop. Could this be the booster or could it just be crappy brake pads or glazed pads?

Anyone? :dunno:

I'd pull each wheel and check for leaks, and probably bleed it while I was at it.

 

Gives a good chance to check the pads too.

The shoes are less than 3 weeks old and the wheel cylinders were fine. I replaced the pads today, and the rotors and calipers are about 1 year old. I am gonna try flushing the fluid tomorrow.

Are the rears adjusted correctly?
