Hey Team,
I've got a 93 LWB, and since I've owned it ~Feb 09 it has had a strange brake pedal application. I was told to flush it, I did and the brake pedal got a little worse. As you depress it you almost hear a vibration/pulsating sound and the brake pedal is very stiff compared to my friend's 95 LWB. So I looked at it some more and I had fluid (think brake fluid, but it was very dirty) around the rear right caliper and rotor (only inside part of the rotor, and not the outside). So I decided to rebuild the two rear calipers. I rebuilt them, cleaned them and bled the brakes. The brakes were perfect as I was pulling out of the drive way, but as soon as I got a few hundred feet away same thing started. I drove it like that for a couple of months (weekend toy), and I noticed there was fluid again at the rear right caliper and rotor.
I bought a used caliper and replaced it, I bled the system and again perfect pulling out of the driveway and then went bad. Yesterday I went to bleed the system again as I usually have air in the system when I do bleed them, and I noticed the rear caliper has fluid on the inside of the rotor and the OUTSIDE part of the INSIDE pad! I can't figure out what the heck is going on! Where the hell is it leaking from? It is not the connection between the caliper as that would cause fluid to be on the outside portion of the rotor as well!!!
I am really puzzled, my brakes still suck. On top of the vibration feedback I get (assuming it is from the air in the system) I have a strange clicking noise which is more like pulsing at each brake pedal application... btw: I have no lights on, my TC and brake light go out after ignition start when the accumulator fills up. ABS go out at 5mph and all sensors are happy.
Please help... has anyone experience anything like this? :think:
