spongy brakes

hey, im not too good with cars, much at all, learning slowly. anywho, advice, anything is appreciated deaply. i have a 96 eclipse rs, stick shift.
i was driving, coming to a stop sign when i heard a loud bang/pop under the car. i know then wheel bearing needed to be replaced. it doesnt make much noise now after i heard this pop. and i lost brake pressure a bit, its pretty spongy, not the same. any advice? a few friends of mine think its maybe the caliper

Re: spongy brakes

Did you check your brake resevoir to see if you've lost fluid in it? You may have blown out a brake line...

As for the wheel bearing, I would get that replaced as soon as possible. The last thing you wanna do is get into an accident because you put off replacing a worn out part.

Re: spongy brakes

replace the Wheel Bearing ASAP! and i bet its a blown out brake line... do yourself a favor and replace all four lines with steel breaded lines.
