Brake pedal issue?
Wednesday, March 21, 2012 6:13 AM
Hey guys,

My gfs cavalier has got me scratching my head big time. It all started about a year and a half ago with mushy brakes- had all the pads changed and rotors too. Didn't really solve the problem, so took car in to find the MS needed to be replaced. Got the car back and it still just felt weird, way too much pedal travel before engagement. So two days ago I take it back in. New pads, new rotors were needed, as well as new drum shoes. Okay is it just me or is she going through brakes like crazy!? 3 times in 2 years with not that much mileage(25k km) if that. Now it's scary to even drive, the pedal has to go almost all the way down to even grab. Now, with the car off I can pump the pedal until hard, start the car and it becomes pushable(brake booster okay?) do I now need to look at adjusting the push rod for pedal height?

Thanks guys
