Am I Missing Something? Brake Question
I had a frozen passenger side caliper a week or so ago. I replaced it with a caliper from AutoZone this past weekend. I then proceeded to bleed the brakes using the 5 presses and stop method. I also changed out both front pads and rotors while I was doing this.
The problem seems to be that after initially bleed the brakes they are perfectly fine. Once I start the truck the brakes become very spongy. The truck seems to stop just fine however I do not like the feel of the brakes.....feels unsafe.
I tried the adjustment of the rod behind the MC but I get the same result of firm brakes until I start the Truck. Did I forget to do something or am I missing something completely with this truck?
