Cordell Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 If your pedal doesn't feel spongy just low, I'd want to look at the pads and see how far they are worn. I'd bet from talking to you that you need some new pads and rotors and it'd be a really good idea to more or less flush out the system by bleeding a bunch of new fluid threw it.

AudiOn19s Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Flush the fluid and bleed while you're at it. It's cheap and relatively easy to do while you're in there already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 excessive pedal travel can be cuased by worn parts, air in the lines, improperly adjusted drum brakes(i don't think that one applies to you), and fluid leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
