It always figures... I fixed a problem today with new A-Arm bushings, ball joints and tie rod ends, and then my brakes dont want to work at all. Just a really mushy, pedal to the floor deal. They worked just fine two days ago when I started on the front suspension. Should I try bleeding them first before anything else? I tucked them away behind the strut up under the inner fender above everything else. The brake lines appeared fine, didnt see any leaks. I didnt crack the lines at all, didnt even mess with the brakes except for removing caliper / pads and rotor, and sliding them back on.

Any ideas on it?

On a positive note... the front end feels SOLID now. Amazing difference without all the slop up front.

Im guessing you forgot to bleed your brakes.

Did you clean the rotors? Could have grease on the rotors. Would be a good idea to bleed the brakes too as that could be the problem also.

I never disconnected the calipers... just unbolted the mount and hung them.

I have a deep groove around the drivers rotor now... maybe a pad wasnt in just right... i pulled it apart again and didnt notice anything.


New problem though... just noticed the passenger side tire rubs the a-arm now.

Would that be the tie rod needing to come in a lot more?
