Where's my car members? I need some help.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
You need to go back and check your work on the front brakes if that's when the issue started. If they were spongy after just replacing pads, there was no chance for air to enter the system at this point.

Check to see if when you reinstalled the calipers, the brake line was twisted. This would 100% act the way you're describing, only allowing fluid to go to one front caliper.

Also check to make sure any slides on the calipers are lubed and move freely. Check the front wheel bearings for any play.
 
Father inlaw checked it too and he didn't know what was wrong. He's done dozens of brake jobs

I say check your front calipers. I had the same problem after replacing my pads. It turns out the boot that covers the piston on the calipers got a whole in it and was trickling fluid. Made the brake seem spongy but wasn't dripping enough fluid to puddle up

Try re bleeding all the brakes. Sounds like the issue or are you leaking brake fluid anywhere

Its pretty much beyond what I wanna get into so my friend is gonna take care of it. He's a mechanic and has his own shop so I think I'm better off

Just remember the e brake works off a cable so use it if needed and your normal brakes are not working.

The brakes still work and my buddies shop is a mile from me so I'm not too worried about getting it to him

Everyone I've talked to has said they are pretty sure this will be solved with a full flush of the brake system. Since we didnt bleed the rears when we did the front brakes and changed the master cylinder.
