Brake question?
Hi i just bought an 89 GTA and i am going through the brake system.So far replaced 2 cracked front rotors,pads all the way around and two rubber lines to the front calipers.But my question is this-after we bleed the brakes with the car up on jack stands,we put the car in gear and of course the wheels turn but when i put the brakes all the way to the floor they are still moving a bit.So does this mean my master cylinder needs replacing?

Re: Brake question?
Is it the front or rear wheels? Discs or drums in the rear?
