Brake spongy

[2002_stanGer]

I just finished fixing my suspension, now my brakes don't work. They are extreeemely spongy, and take a while to stop. Now, everything is on, and there is no in the hoses, because I made sure to bleed them. ??

Bleed them again.

Bleed them again but make sure that you work from the front to back starting with the driver-side front. Your goal is to push all of the air out of the lines and the only way to do it is to start in the front or you will be pushing air back in the lines.

Driver front > passenger front > driver rear > passenger rear

Hmmm, this is exactly backwards to what I've always heard - that you start at the furthest brake from the master cylinder, the pass rear, then drivers rear, pass front and drivers front.

I've always done it so that it works air back out of the line as opposed to pushing it back into the line and ultimately back through the master cylinder.

How to bleed brakes the right way.

I stand corrected. That being said I have never had any problems with doing it the opposite way.
