Yay, more issues with the Trailblazer
2002 Chevy Trailblazer with 106k miles. I replaced the rotors up front and put new Wagner pads on it, they're still full of pad. The caliper slides are greased up nicely and work properly. It doesn't pull to one side or another either. Brake fluid level is full.
Now to the issue: The brakes suck. There isn't much else to say about it, they just SUCK. I drove the car a week or two ago and it was fine, this week I've driven it twice and they don't stop that great. They aren't hard, the pedal goes down but requires a lot more pushing to get it to stop good, which when pushing kinda hard it does stop ok. I think to still safe to drive, but the issue is that the brakes have changed. I took the vacuum hose off the booster and it has vacuum so I don't know.
I'm thinking either a master cylinder or booster.
Thoughts?
