Default hard pedal, RR brake dust abs light 95 GT

When you want to make a quick stop whether its 50 or 30 the pedal is rock hard and car doesnt want to stop.

Intermitent abs light.

3.73 install, both rear abs sensors were busted.

Before gears, right rear wheel wheel always got covered in brake dust as if it was dragging. but its not. Both rear calipers are brand new. and spin free.

Is this issue brake booster related? blockage in a hose? abs issue causing this? there are no vacuum leaks.

My girl needs good brakes, shes had a throttle welded to the floor board for 2 years since its her first RWD car and this brake issue combined driiving like I do, its time to have fun.

If you ave vac at the booster, and your pedal stays rock hard... replace the booster.

bringing back my thread, I don't see how the booster would cause the RR wheel to do all the braking. RR wheel is dusty as ****. Its a new caliper from autozone so the pads it came loaded with are probably junk causing dust. but its a lot of dust. my wheel goes black in a week. yet on a lift you can hit overdrive up in the air hit brakes stop the rear tires and idle in drive itll spin no prob. I can spin the wheels by hand too. Im stumped.

Maybe you will read and understand ......pedal is hard because of a defective brake booster. One brake doing all the stopping, car would pull upon braking, lock up one tire, and spin like a top. Hope this makes it a bit more clear. Get new sensors for the rear brakes.
