last year i swaped out the cutlass spindels and put the caprices ones in the with the caprice a arms and calipers, etc. I noticed since then that my brake pedel goes to the floor. i put new calipers on the front and pads, replaced all rear brake parts and put on a caprice master cylinder and it still feels like it goes down to far. is this normal? if not, what could possible be wrong?

 

[hydryan]

this would get more answers in maintenance, but did you bleed the air out of the brake lines????

 

[Hoppin Poop]

yes i blead the system a numerous amount of times.

i had the same problem i guess it was due to the caprice having bigger brakes and the cuttlas master cyl not having enough pressure to make them work to there fullest that and the bigger piston in the caliper +more fluid =more pedal etc etc etc

 

[Chris]

sounds like its just gonna be air but if not try to bolts a caprice master cylinder onto your car

 

[Hoppin Poop]

i already put on the caprice master cylinder.

 

[switches and thangs]

Try 2 bleed the master cylinder and if that does not work try the proportioning valve from the caprice

did you check to make sure the rod out of the cutty booster is the same length as the one from the caprice you didnt tell us you had changed the master too

 

[OGJordan]

did you bench bleed the master cylinder before you installed it ??? You need to that as well as bleed the brake lines.

And you put those spindles/uppers from a caddy/caprice on a gbody because the uppers are already longer than stock so you don't need to extend them. And the spindles raise the car an inch or so.

 

[Hoppin Poop]

yes, i did bench bleed the master. the only thing i can think of is if the booster rod is longer in the caprice, like bigtony said.....does anyone know?

 

[hydryan]

bench bleed the master

 

[hydryan]

my bad

 

[NaptownSwangin]

Do you have to change the calipers? Or will the Gbodys fit on the Caprice spindle?

 

[Hoppin Poop]

you have to change the spindles.

 

[Chris]

caprice spindles allow you to run more coil

Can you run caprice spindles and brakes without the uppers?

i heard that answer is yes..

 

[Chris]

yes you can...you just have to run the caprice brakes

 

[Long Roof]

Then can you run Caprice spindles and brakes on a S-10? What about a-arms?
