The brake pedal in my 2001 Chevy Venture was hitting the floor when I tried to brake.
Changed the master cylinder, changed the calipers, changed the wheel cylinders. Got it bled at a GM Goodwrench garage because I know that you need to have an ABS scan tool purge the ABS module.
I got it back and it was still a little spongy. I thought it was cause my brakes were low, so I changed the front pads and rotors. The brakes are STILL spongy. With the ABS module bled and no sign of bubbles in the brake system, what else could it make my brakes still spongy?
Thanks ahead of time.
Did you adjust the rear shoes out? If the rear drum brakes are out of adjustment they will give you a lot of pedal travel. If the pads are worn have no fear of that U-CLIP brake spring, just change one shoe at a time. Take the spring off one side, change the shoe, put the spring back on the post and do the same to the other shoe, no problem.
If you had the system bled out at a GM dealer ship the car should been road tested before it left, checked for proper operation.
I'd check to make shure that all calipers/ wheel cylinders are working. If there is a non working part then your system is not fully operating, only using part of the system. You can check this by lifting the car and turn the wheel and have someone step on the brake if you can't turn the wheel ok, if you can still turn it i'd be looking for a siezed cylinder or a malfunction caliper or cailiper slide. Good luck
