Hey Everyone,
Here's the story.... I noticed that I was getting a lot of vibration from my pedal upon breaking, so I figured it was sticky guide pins. Proably drove about 100 miles or so before I looked at the problem.
Was taking off the tire to take a look when I noticed that the brake clip (on the front passenger) was MIA. After a day or too, got a new one from the dealer, and installed it. 5 min job, right? Of course not. HAH! Installed the new one correctly (I've done the brakes on this car a couple times before, and refered to the pictures on this site, so I know how it is suppossed to go in, plus the drivers side clip was still on). The problem is when I install it correctly, the pedal gets real soft. If I remove the clip or install it incorrectly, the pedal is very firm.
I know you are all probably thinking that I have it installed incorrectly, and I don't blame you, because I thought the same thing, but believe it is on right. If you look at it you can see that the clip is suppossed to go over the two tabs so that it "pulls" the caliper together. If it is on incorrectly, it will look like it wants to push the caliper apart.
Hope that doesn't come off as being cocky or anything, just want to stress the point that the clip is installed correctly, but have a very soft pedal.
On a related note, I also flushed/bleed the brakes because it needed to be done anyway. Thought it might help the problem too. The problem was occurring before and is still occuring after the bleed.
I know if anyone can solve this problem its you all.
Thanks as always fot your help.
Roger
