Was driving along when some aggressive braking caused what I thougt was brake fade, but it didn't go away... So I bled the mess out of em several times, and replaced a MC, calipers were already new, and adjusted the pushrod form the boster a few times, etc...
Still no better until the last test drive, it was still acting the same, I couldn't even get em to lock up unless I was going slow, like 20-30 MPH and slammed the mess out of em and they finally locked. Just before I got back to the house I heard/felt a small click/minor pop at the stop sign and the brakes started draggin really bad! So I had to drive darn near a mile to the house with what felt like half the brake pedal depressed, stopping a few times to let em cool a little. All four were smokin' when I got back to the house...
I was wondering if perhaps the line lock was stuck half open or something because now that I think about it, it seemed like I had full travel of the pedal, absolutely no air in the lines that I could find... So I'm wondering if maybe I should call/email the line lock folks to see if this might have been an indication of a stuck line lock or something???
I'm also wondering if maybe maybe the booster is the culprit? Like perhaps the pedal rod wasn't jivin' up with the booster pushrod???
So somethin was magically dislodged in the line lock, or something mechanically snapped back into place with the booster???
Any ideas?
The pedal did get all the way to the floor when I had the problem, but it was pretty much already this way when it was working fine earlier; but when the magic "fix happened", the pedal would barely go down after whatever it was corrected itself... I call it a magic fix because I prolly had the booster rod too far out at this point and I assume if I shorten it back to where it used to be it would work fine again????
