Default Urgent help with brakes.

Hello guy's,
I have the following problem the brake pedal is bouncing all the time when I'm braking. I have fitted new disc's and calipers along with new fluid and a full bleed and it hasn't cured the problem. It doesn't matter if I brake lightly or heavy the pedal bounces. There's no feedback in the steering wheel either. Thought originally a warped disk on the front hence the new disks and calipers whilst I was at it. The car has ABS I've had both sensors out and cleaned them up and the hubs ABS rings are in good condition as well. No ABS light is on by the way either. The pedal doesn't bounce when stationary and it's pressed.

I'm proper stumped. Anyone else had this and fixed it, cheers Steve.

The cars a 98 turbo wagon with new 4 pots, disks, Hel braided lines, mintex pads and mintex fluid.

It's usually warped rear discs when it does this with nothing through the steering
If you have also changed the rear discs it could be the drive flange out of shape
Cheers Ian

Thanks Ian that's there the only part's I haven't changed as they seemed to be serviceable I did change the pads though. I'll pick some up and see if that fixes the problem,they are the solid type.. Thanks again Steve.

Thanks for the update. It's always good to learn how these things are finally resolved, but so often we don't.
