My daughter's 89, 244, auto tranny, no ABS system on this one, has a brake problem. The brake pedel now goes quite a bit further down from its normal position. It does not hit the floor and is about 3 inches above the floor. This happened all at once according to my daughter. The pedel is going about 2 to 3 inches further down and the Brake Failure light is now coming on. When you release the pedel the light goes out. Any movement past the half way position makes the failure light come on. I did notice some spongyness towards the bottom of the stroke. I have replace the left rear caliper as the pads on that side were worn completly out and the right side was only worn about half way. I did a complete bleed of the rear but still have the same problem as when I statred. Any ideas?? Thanks...:) Max
