Subject:      Soft brake pedal, booster?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


I need some advice on my soft brakes. 89 A/T Westy. The pedal on this
van has NEVER felt as firm as any of my others. This spring I replaced
the MC, front calipers, pads, rear drums, cylinders, and shoes. I bled
the snot out of it. Adjusted the rears correctly. It still feels the
same, too much pedal travel. My booster holds vacuum. Pumping doesn't
help much. Could the rod linking it to the pedal be out of adjustment?
What does a bad booser feel like? I'm stumped and getting a little
down over this. I've done quite a bit of Vanagon brake work so I'm
confident of the work I've done so far. TIA
