Bounce and Stop
Next, it was time for suspension and brake work. I replaced the master cylinder, pads, shoes , wheel cylinders, rear brake springs ,and soft brake lines. Front rotors were re-cut. While I was in there, I replaced the front wheel bearings. The drums were still within specification (barely), so they were scuffed and re-used. I also flushed about 3 qts of DOT 3 through the brake system. I used a pressure bleeder and completely removed the bleeders so all the badness could run out. Everything was pretty straight forward, except that the front calipers were a style that I had never seen before. Set me back on my heels for a half a second, but I got it figured out. Finally, I installed new shocks on all four corners. When I did the rears I discovered two different brands of shock. These people had at some point replaced a single shock. Who fuckin' does that?
