Hey guys,

Not a newbie to volvos but my first time time on brickboard.

The car in question is my '87 244DL daily driver. About a month ago the pedal started getting slightly spongy and the master cylinder was making noises. The brakes worked fine save for some shuddering in the wheel so I put off fixing it until I had some time. Yesterday the brake failure light came on which kicked me into gear.

Autozone sold me a rebuilt master cylinder for $40. I bench bled the new one and replaced the old master in about 45 mins. The entire system was flushed about 1 year ago, so the fluid is fine. It made quite a big difference in pedal feel but the brake faliure light was still on. After some stiff braking from ~50mph to test out the brakes I noticed the car would pull to the right. Some very hard braking at lower speeds revealed the right front wheel would lock up right away while the left was still rolling.

This leads me to believe the distribution block is not doing its job dividing the pressure evenly through the two circuits. Am I on the right track here?

Any help is appreciated guys.

Thanks,

Alex
