Need Help with Brake Problem

[Grant Lenahan]

Gene-

 From what you say - "problem affects all four wheels" indicates that  
it has to be a common component to all 4. None of whcih you have  
dealt with.  I'm thinking master cylinder or brake booster - given that.

Or do you mean "it affects all 4 wheels, but one or two at a time" -  
which would still make me suspicious of a common cause.

Also, what has changed or been done - just befoe this all began -  
that might have been the culprit?
