brake feel??
How do yalls brakes feel? I just had my front pads replaced and rotors turned. I also had the back shoes and rotors turned about 3 months ago.
my brakes feel kinda soft. I can press the pedal all the way to the floor and the brakes dont lock the tires up or anything. The truck comes to a stop, it just doesnt seem "sudden" enough. Sorry dont know how to explain it better. Do they need to be bled? thanks
