WEak braking power despite new brake pads

[usokpower]

Ano na ang kailangan palitan o pagawa kung mahina pa rin ang brakes
kahit pinalitan na ang brake pads?

Thanks.

Is it weaker than before the pad change? ipa-bleed mo at ipa-adjust mo ang brakes ulit. Sometimes happens when I get new brake pads and they don't install them properly. Dapat free back-job yun.

[t2erns]

as per niky, mahina na ba dati yung brakes mo bago nagpalit ng pads, nagbabawas ba ng fluid, pedal goes to floor ba, spongy ba ang brake, excessive pedal effort, un-even brakes, etc,etc

[theveed]

Yun din isip ko, may air yung brake lines.

Either that or nagkaseal problem ang hydrovac or vacuum.

[jcastillo932]

Check your hydrovac and pa-bleed mo.

[usokpower]

Yep. Mahina na ang braking power even before its pads were changed. Pero kahit napalitan na ng bago the braking power only got very slightly stronger.

check mo brake shoe mo i assume front wheel drive ang kotse mo then its the drum brakes in the rear ang may problema

[niky]

The question is... what car is it? Some vehicles really have weak brakes.

Its actually a 11 year old L200 I drive slower now because of this.

delikado 'to, possible sign of worn out rubber piston caps...

having it said that it is 11 y/o, baka palitin na ang hydrovac mo...

[ruelsdcz]

tanong dyan is what pads did you use? some replacement pads are worse pa than the old ones you were using...

guys, i have a quick brake question.

autotechnika before found out before (during their free checkup) that my brake fluid reservoir is almost empty. they filled it up a bit (for free) and I topped it off again at our house.

question... would that lead (almost empty brake fluid) for air to contaminate my brake lines? from their checkup report - they are recommending that the brakes should be bled due to this.

the braking power of my ride has diminished a bit though this might be also due to the old brake pads (it has run for 60K km already although it is still ok according to the AT peeps).

that's one thing to consider indeed... i once made a mistake of using replacement pads... that combined with a heavy foot and a powerful engine would certainly lead to disaster...

not to mention you'll use it up much faster... mine lasted about a month before i replaced it with an original one.

basta may fluid pa sa baso ok pa yan. pag umabot or lumampas sa mga pistons magkaka air na yan. try to replace the fluid baka contaminated na.

thanks sir alfred... baka mga lumagpas na... hindi ko gusto ang brake feel nung rav4 lately.

nagtaka naman ako ba't biglang naubusan yung brake fluid...

[radiazone]

nagtaka naman ako ba't biglang naubusan yung brake fluid...

baka may cut yung tube or... try to check some leak... hindi naman basta basta maubos ang brake fluid pag walang leak...

check from hydrovac if there is a sign of fluid, also from brake fluid reservoir maybe a crack is present... check some signs of peeling paint or nangungulubot na paint sa daanan ng fluid... kasi nakakatangal ng paint ang brake fluid...

watch out... makati yan, wag ikalamot sa kung saan saan...
