ok..so i need some help here people...starting from the beginning...
first off..my master cylinder went bad and started to leak...so i got a new one and a re-manufactured booster since i was going to be right there anyway...after i put it all back together and bled the brakes i had a very low pedal but it still stopped no problem..the pedal was not "spongy" just low..
but then after i was driving for a bit i noticed the pedal got really hard and "high" and it stopped great....but after the car would sit over night and i started the next morning it was "low" again
but this time while i was driving the pedal got very very hard and very "high" and i noticed my driver front caliper was locked up and not disengaging
so i replaced the caliper and thought it was all over with and fixed...turned out the pedal was still weird and my brakes were still getting "stuck"...so i thought my proportioning valve went bad so i replaced that as well...but still have the same problem
i have a simple question before any one answers this post..i put the booster upside down like i see some people do to hide the vacuum hose...could that have anything to do with it?? or do you think i got a defective brake booster??? i hope someone can help me!!! thanks in advance
