- 2001 Explorer Sport 4x4
2001 Ford Explorer Sport 4x4, at 280K. I replaced the brake system since it would drag to the right when stopping. New Pads, rotors, and calipers, all slides and pins were greased. Before the job my brake pedal would stop the car if i pushed down an inch, it was solid and felt amazing. Now it goes to the floor and is not confidence inspiring. I have bleed the brakes 4 times, twice using a vacuum bleeder, twice manually with a friend. Zero improvement each time, and pumping the pedal does not help at all leading me to believe air is not the issue.
I bought very nice pads, and very nice rotors with UV coating for rust protection. The calipers were cheaper RockAuto remanufactured units.
What could be causing my issue?
Could the master cylinder be bad, or are the cheapo caliper I got possible the problem?
