Stats:
91 Explorer 4X4
New ART front rotors and pads (installed four days ago)
New front brake hoses (installed today)
Bled system-got all air bubbles out
Master cylinder and calipers are two years old-but had same problem before replacing it
Cannot find any leaks
Question-
Why do I still have a spongy/low brake pedal? I went to test the brakes today and the fronts locked when I stomped on the brake pedal for the first two panic stops. The next stop I slowly applied the pedal about 1/2 down than stomped on it again-no front lock-up and pedal to floor. After that, the right would lock, then the left. On my last try nothing locked up.
The rear ABS seems to be functioning properly. So what should I check for now? Maybe the pads aren't worn in yet but I should not have a low/spongy pedal like that. It should get really hard and stop traveling before it hits the floor right?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
