575

Hi,
first post on here so still a newbie.
i have had my brakes changed on my 92 legacy turbo from standard 2pots to 4pots, they came with hardly used drilled grooved discs, pads and braided hoses of fleebay. my brother done the change who's no expert and even though the discs and pads got more meat than the ones that were allready on the car they don't really seem as responsive and are more spongey like, i mean you have to put pedal down quite abit for it to start breaking also when you brake sharp just before you stop without holding the steering it moves right to left and when you brake gradually it pulls to the left and the abs light came on for abit today.
sorry for the long post but any advice would be greately appreciated

regards

ummmm, non straight steering when brakes applied could be several things. tyres, disks, pads, callipers and various things on all these parts.... even suspension issues, alignment, camber..... endless...

You bled the brakes didn't you when replacing the 2 pots with 4 pots???? If not then this is your problem. The braking difference between 2 and 4 pots should be massively improved with the 4 pots

and just to confirm an old peach - you have got the bleed nipples facing upwards............

he didnt bleed them completely he just topped up at the end and got me to pump the brakes after to get the air out, but we only done this to the front calipers.

you most likely have air in the rears also, always best to bleed full car..........

As above, you don't replace calipers without a full bleed.

Search on here, it's easy to do.
