I can pump my brakes up, it usually takes 10-11 times and then they work as normal *Until i let them go and hit the gas, then they go all the way back down again (almost to the floor). Almost seems like booster is not holding pressure or it's leaking air somewhere.
I can hear when i pump the brakes almost sounds like a bike Pump, like it's just pushing air.
With the Car OFF i can pump the brakes and they will get very stiff, as soon as i turn the car on they drop down and continue there until i pump them, about the 11th time they are full again. I have new Brake Pads and New Rotors on. 1 new caliper. - Yes i have bled the lines but seems like i'm still getting air after bleeding - they work -let car sit over night and they are back to where they were.
Also I noticed when the brakes aren't working properly *(they are almost to the floor)
the car is very hard to stop but the weird part is.. If i push in very hard
the Front Wheels WILL lock up, and pull to the pass side, the steering wheel even moves
List of things i plan on doing,
-replace both front calipers (may do big brake upgrade) since i got the small 90's -replacing full Brake lines Master Cyl. -Back (maybe seems like a hard job)
-replacing smaller Brake lines with Stainless (if $$$ lets me) and finally
-Bought new Brake Booster - not sure how hard this will be to install
ANy suggestions or help diagnosing before i spend more $$$
