Default Front brake calipers sticking - 07-15-2006 , 02:42 PM






I replaced both calipers, had my rotors inspected and they do not need
to be turned. I also had my brakes professionally bled. When I press
the brake pedal I get a loud creeking sound as if there is air in the
line and at times the pedal will go to the floor. Is there a way I can
check my lines to see if they are collapsed or will I have to take it
to a professional.

My friend's 99 Grand Am had so many brake problems. The pedal going to
the floor sounds like something is seriously wrong. If you have the
cash, it might be time to upgrade to braided steel brake lines.

You can try getting a brake line bleeder system and doing the job
yourself to remove any air in the lines.
