kyleag89 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geonovast Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyleag89 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Share Posted December 29, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Are the rears adjusted correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
