Brakes have gone dodgy on my 09 Rubicon
My 09 rubi has always had strong brakes but an unnerving pedal feel that never really went hard at full pressure, but has gotten worse after a weekend of rocky climbs, I spent almost 20 mins with all my strength holding on a 60 degree climb that went pear shaped till i could inch back and get nose back uphill without rolling after that went through several deep muddy crossings on way home stuff all brakes. stripped it today discs glazed and pads no better used orbital with 36 grit paper to remove burnt on mud and get back to bare steel again brand new pads front and rear, brakes are much better but pedal feels mushy bled several times no air pulls up ok but wont lock up suspect that master is bypassing as can push through stroke till nearly hits floor.
Anyone had this experience?
I called into Brake specialist today he reckons the abs should have no effect unless activated and that the pedal should firm up to stop at full pressure not travel though to floor like it does. Nothing i didnt already know!!
