Hey everyone,
I couple months ago I did a slight overhaul on my brake system. I replaced the front rotors, calipers, slide pins, and pads, on both wheels. I also readjusted the drum brakes in the back. After doing all of this I bled the entire system. I drove it around and it worked well and everything was good.
Recently my parking brake light came on while I was driving (indicating low brake fluid). Being stupid me I did not immediately stop and add more fluid and I waited a few days to add more fluid. Now when I am coming to a stop my brake pedal pulsates/locks up and it sounds like the ABS is kicking it or something weird. This happens at 5mph almost every time that I am coming to a stop. I re-bled the system but it is continuing to do it.
I am wondering if it is possible that when the master cylinder went dry that it got air into the Hydraulic Control Unit and that this is what would be causing this problem or if it something else entirely, any suggestions/solutions would be great!
Thanks
