Soft Brake Pedal
Hi, I am happy I found this club. I too, am a proud owner of 1998 Lexus SC400. I have had it for about a year, the car runs great, with the exception of the brakes. The brake pedal is very soft, it almost goes to the floor before the car comes to a stop. I went to a Lexus dealer to have them check out my brakes and they told me to replace the pads and rotors. I even had them bleed the lines and still the pedal feels very soft. Is this common for all Lexus SC400's or is there something else that should be checked out that was over looked? I like a tight brake pedal, how can I achieve this?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
when the pedal feels soft it usually means that you have air in the break system. Lexus breaks are a little softer than others but not like the way you guys describe it.... Do a breakline bleed and refill if you are doing it on your own remember youneed 2 people to do it. I would just take it to a shop... its the breaks... a little bit important... You can usually tell if there is air in the system by pumping the breaks. If pumping them helps the soft feeling go away it probably air.
