I think of it as the four wheel disk pedal feel, experienced it the first time I drove a Saab. I think any car with ZERO AIR (sometimes easier said than done) and 4 wheel disks should have it. Mitch. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http:/

I think you're right Dan, that'll be my next move. I noticed that the brake hoses on my '87 wagon are looking pretty ragged, might as well get an extra set for the '95 sedan and see how that works. Hmmm, if they are the same part number, perhaps I'll get one set of new hoses for the wagon, and tr

FTE master cylinder arrived last night about 8:30 p.m., I had half a day off so I installed it after lunch. Did not bench bleed it, just used the power bleeder and pushed fresh fluid out to all four wheels. Pedal feel is exactly like before (mushy) but it has always been mushy on that car. I ma
