Low Brake pedal 900 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be chris camacho on  Thu Aug 16 05:40 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Help. My Turbowagon has a seriously low brake pedal. It stops very well, pedal's just low. it happened very gradually, I barely noticed it. I tried bleeding them to no avail. What should I do?? Thanks!

It sounds like a brake master cylinder problem. If it feels a little spongy or soft it usually means that the cylinder is bad. We carry the original unit for about half the price that the dealer sells it. And yes it is brand new and original manufactuer.

If the pads and rotors are fine, you probably have a bad master cylinder.

I've had a similar problem that wasn't the master cylinder, pads or rotors.

It was a problem with the calipers, I also replaced old rubber brake hoses woith new.
