I haven't tried pumping the brakes before stopping, but I guess I will today. I may rebleed first too, but its completely unnecessary as I've got this down to a tee now.
2. I believe its all 4 brakes and YES YES YES. All 4 wheels spin freely when elevated and there's no way the hardware is installed wrong. I've meticulously been troubleshooting this for over 2 years now without replacing the prop valve because everyone says how bad ass tough they are.
3. Alignment..... NO. Now this is interesting. What are you getting at? I've done tons of suspension upgrades and repair with the last element being the steering rack needing to go along with new tie rod ends and then I was gonna have it aligned. In the meantime though what could this cause?
Yes, I deserve more than just enjoying the car. What it should do is "transform" into a blow job machine and suck me off for paying so much attention to it. Oh...how vulgar of me?  |
Well, with the suspension upgrades and having taken things apart, your alignment is probably off, when applying the brakes and being out of alignment, you can have issues, such as pulling to one side. But if you're going to be replacing the rack, then I'd wait and deal with it for the time being, unless it's unsafe.
Is the Booster hose installed the right way (arrow going to intake)?
I dunno what esle to say, sometimes when there's air in the lines, the brakes will be mushy, but if you pump'em a few times, they'll firm up enough to do a decent job, but after awhile, the mushyness will come back.
Did you use a piece of looped tubing when you bled your brakes? That's the best n easiest way if yer by yerself.
