As the title suggests I have straight to the floor spongy brakes.
Now they were spongy when i bought the Cruiser and a DOE cert stating a brake imbalance in the rear.
After further investigating it was a sized near side caliper, that sorted showed up a warped disc. So new pads and discs (rotors) still the same.
Checked the front, all looked good. Still no difference, replaced front pads as they were 50% gone, to help as much as possible. Still no joy
Bleed the system numerous times since I got the truck, the last time a 1.5L flush.
So I got a lend of 4 clamps and clamped the rubber hoses just before the calipers.
All clamped up hard as a rock (tested with engine on and off)
Release near side rear good and hard.
Reclamp
Release offside side rear good and hard.
Reclamp
Release offside side front slight drop but hard.
Reclamp
Release near side front drops to the floor.
Any suggestions
