oops I meant Soggy brake issue:
86 Bronco II 4x4
Replaced- master cylinder,front calipers,front brake lines, rotors and pads, rear wheel cylinders, rear shoes, turned drums.
A while back I replaced my front pads. Before I did this, everything was fine, and the braking system was top notch. After the pads, it was saggy. So I thought it was the rear stuff, and I replaced everything back there. Then I replaced the master cylinder. I have bled these brakes over and over, step by step according to my manual. They just dont work like they did before. The brake pedal feels like it goes all the way to the floor, or the master cylinder pistons are pushed all the way in, make sense?
I have not done two things that I can think of: replacing the brake booster, and adjusting the rear brakes.
Would either of these have an effect on how well the brakes work?
I feel that the brake booster just makes it easier to press the pedal down, but overall braking should still work if this part is malfunctioning?
Would adjusting the rear shoes possibly fix this?
