  • @wtf000000000000 It sounds like the hard pedal might be due to glazing of the friction surfaces but it's also possible that a caliper might be jamming. Is the wear similar on the rotors, or is it grooved and rusty on some parts? Were the replacement parts original or aftermarket?

  • @sbakar it doesn't goes to the floor but more like it i can't feel the friction point and yet i need quite a bit of force to step on the brake to stop the car, brake fluid still stayed at full after last brake job like a year ago. but yea the brake do travle like 3inch or so . could it be cheap quality brakes ??

  • @wtf000000000000 Is it possible to lock the wheels if you step really hard? A spongy pedal could mean some trapped air in the lines, but if the pedal goes soft and goes to the floor during a steady application, it could be a leaking master cylinder. Do you have to add fluid every so often? Any visible leaks?

  • @sbakar the travel seems long and feel spongy like it give min. pedal feedback when the brakes are clamped, and it takes quite a bit of force to push down that pedal too especally when it cold out.

  • @wtf000000000000 Does the pedal seem to work better if you pump it? Or does it feel consistently spongy?

  • Very good info and way to check.

  • i have front disc rear drum, pedal is spongy, and travel quite deep

    is toyota camry 04 le  , anything i should be aware of other than fuild and thickness of the brake meat ?

  • What about drum breaks?

  • about time motorweek!
