Big problem, need advise. UPDATE.
First things first. 2001 Ranger XLT 4.0 4wd.
The last 2 years I've had lots of brake problems. It started at the rear with both rears seizing, causing me to have to replace both drums, cyliders, pads, and springs. $300 later and I was back in buisness.
Fast forward to recently where the front brakes started acting up. Heres whats going on. Speed must be about 10mph or so and higher, wont do it while stopped. Get moving, turn to the left, (any bit from left of center, max or minimum doesnt matter), hit the brakes and the peddle pulsates and drops about 4 inches and there is NOT much braking happening, slight slowing, but have to grab them again to get stopped well. Down right scary.
Will not do it at all if turning right or straight. ONLY LEFT.
New pads front and rear, all checked, there fine. I've ran 4 bottles of fluid through the lines and know there isnt any air in the lines. NO leaks what-so-ever, checked for a week on concrete after multiple runs checking the area I drove and parked, no leaks. NO broken or pinched lines, checked while the wheels were turned in all directions. Everthing looks a-ok. Fluid levels are fine. I keep maintenance on my vehicles very strict, and have been threatened divorce for the amount of time i spend taking care of them lol, but parts fail even under those circumstances sometimes.
It only does it while turning to the left. I'm at my wits end here lol. I'm thinking master cylider maybe. What do you guys think? Snows coming and I need brakes fast lol. Any help GREATLY appreciated guys.
