95 saturn SL2, stepping on the break pedal, it goes in soft and deep into the floor...
I just got the new rotor and new break pad installed but the break pedal
stills feels soft and goes in deep. It feels like the pressure isn't building up when I step on the break pedal. Any thoughts? |

If the break peddal goes low, it's the back breaks that need the work. It's
the back breaks that gives you the height in the pedal. Maybe air in the lines, that will make the breaks spongey. But again, its the rear breaks that need adjusting.

When I step on the break pedal, i hear the clunk in the front wheels... I
wonder what's going on... It almost sounds like me hitting the rotor with a hammer. Mechanic doesn't seem to know what's going on...

I went nuts trying to get the rear brakes on my 95 SW1 adjusted. It turned out that the real problem was that one of the calipers was hung up on the bolts on which it slides. When I tried to remove the caliper, the bolt broke off in the mount. $5 and 10 minutes at the junk yard got me a new mount and bolts, I tossed in new pads and the brakes have been fine for about a year. -David |
