So recently i got my brakes replaced. why:
whenever I'd brake, the car was very difficult to stop.
id have to press to hard to get the brakes to actually function right.
also there was massive vibrations from the front rotors being warped.

basically, no matter how hard I press on the brakes, it always looks like I'm coming to a slow stop at a light. - if a car slams it's brakes on ahead of me, ...id rear end them.

Parts replaced:
front and rear rotors
front pads (rear were still good)
brakes were bled
master cyl replaced (it was bad, no rear brakes prior to getting this replaced)
proportioning valve replaced
power booster replaced

Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated into resolving this issue. I think it's the calipers - either clogged or needing to be rebuilt or replaced. my mechanic thinks that's a possibility, as well as swelled brake lines not allowing enough fluid through.

 

Calipers are CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP; like, less than $10 apiece. If in doubt, change em out.

The rubber lines fail ALOT on old cars. Not just these cars, ALL old cars. Again, if in doubt...

 

Definitely new rubber lines - makes a world of difference!

 

cheapest I've found on calipers is $10 per caliper in front, plus $15 core charge.
$67 per rear caliper and $30 core charge

they are rebuilt as well.

I replaced the front calipers the problem the left rear caliper started leaking while replacing the the rear rotor I thought it was the hard line so I replaced it with braided hose but where it leaking from is the banjo bolt it like the bolt is not long enough can I a get longer banjo bolt I got a new one from auto zone and same thing it like its too short help any body thanks

 

The banjo bolt is fine; problem is the crush washers.

Put 2 of them between the fitting and the caliper, and 1 between the bolt head and the fitting.

 

went to auto part store and got 1/4 longer banjo bolt from a ford and it worked
