Service Brakes · reported Nov 16, 2024
When braking at 30mph +, brake is very stiff. I also noticed that my brake rotors on the front right(passenger side) were clean or smooth, but on the brake rotors on the left side(driver side) were still rusted, because of water during the car washing. i knew that the front left brake arent braking. Did a proper brake bleeding on all four, and only the Front left had no fluid at all and the brake fluid was filled to full.
