I feel my brake spongy for a long time.
It needs more distance to stop than other cars.
Today I decide to replace front brake pads.
When I took them apart, I found that the thickness
of the 2 pairs of pads are just a little less
than my new ones. So I didn't replace them.
The other problem is when I tried to put a pair
of new pads on, the space is just not enough to
hold the new pads. Even when I put the old ones
back, the space seems still not enough. So I have
to try every means, and finally by a little trick
I put them back. Did you guys ever met this problem when you did this job???? Is it normal??
btw: the brake disc is a little thinner ( 21mm )
less than the specification from Haynes
Manual, does it matter??
Everything seems normal, so what's wrong with
my brake? why it feels spongy???
