Master Cylinder going out?
Is there a way to test or find out if the master cylinder may be goin bad, cuz we have bleed my brakes quite a few times and they just feel soft to me for some reason. Cant figure it out. Or is it just that the Brakes on an LT1 suck.......

Re: Master Cylinder going out?
How far down are we talking ? do you get really close to the floorboard cause if so its most likely a bad master cylinder , air in one of the lines or cracked/broken hose. Also I have done my brakes a couple of times and usually right after you bleed the system for the first couple of days they feel kinda spongey but I asked around and this is normal.

Re: Master Cylinder going out?
I put new pads, slotted rotors, and steel braded lines all the way around, but you know the car stops a lil better now but not like it should, it felt this way even before I changed it all out. If I am at a stand still at idle, I can press my pedal all the way to the floor the car doesnt move but it will go all the way down. And like I said we have bleed it a couple times.....

Re: Master Cylinder going out?
I'm just asking if your sure you don't have cracked or broken hose somewhere that your not aware of because when I had a master cylinder in my Vette go my pedal would go all the way to the floor with very little resistance and the car would take forever to stop almost like there was no braking at all,.

Re: Master Cylinder going out?
I dont think this is the case cuz i never see brake fluid leaking anywhere. Also like I said the fluid level does not change so im thinkin its the master cylinder...

Re: Master Cylinder going out?
Well how did you bleed the brakes all those times?
Did you use hand vacuum way? or 2 person , 1 pressing pedal, 1 turning nut way?.
