Soft Brakes / Spongy Breaks
 

The brakes on my truck are very soft recently, and i hear a tiny squeak coming out of my front driver side. I can press down my brake pedal all the way back with out much resistance and its a little slow moving back. I noticed this last weekend when i took the boat out and it took some effort from my right foot to slow down.

I think im gonna have to probably check and see if my calipers and or pads can slide freely first. and inspect my rotors and pads. then if it passes inspection i think ill do a flush and bleed.

what do yall think

May have something to do with those quick stops from 100 MPH. You may want to de-glaze the rotors and install new pads.

it did start doing that after testing :humm:

i must of done like 15 runs with very quick stops those nights.

ima wipe down my rotors with rubbing alcohol tomorrow and sand down the pads too

Check your hydro boost for leaks around the accumulator.

You could try and reburnish them if you've been doing a lot of hard stops. About 10 stops 10 stops from 60-5 might fix it.

i did some really hard stops recently, and lots of them too

could also be the factory flex lines may need to look into some braided ones that would help

i'd look into new hoses as had stops and alot of them will make the fluid really hot and cause the hoses to swell when combined with the pressure of stopping fast. if it were me i'd flush the passably burnt fluid out, buy new pads and either turn the rotors or replace them.

sounds like you may have an air pocket, or there is some hardware hanging up. try cleaning/inspecting/bleeding

:ph:
