Update on Coupe brakes



Hi all,

Well, through troubleshooting, it looks like a bad master cylinder. Took it out and you can push it in 2/3 of the waywith no resistance, it hits a "hard" spot, then goes through the rest of it's travel. Then, it doesn't return the last 3/4".

Antilock works fine... you can drive the car, mash the brakes and the backs will pulse. Made sense to me since it is measuring speed differential betewwn the wheels and the fronts are getting no pressure whatsoever, hence maintaining a higher speed... Plus, the rears will lock when you disable ABS vi a the dash switch. 

Sound like master cylinder to anyone else?

Now, what are the chances of this being coincidence with changing springs/ shocks? Simple coincidence, or caused by the dueling banjo brothers?

TIA,

Todd
