Re: [FWDLK] 55 plymouth brakes



Jesus:
 
    I had a similar problem with my 56 and after a while, discovered that I had a cross threaded brake line that leaked when I pumped the brakes.  I replaced the line and problem was fixed.

After 23 years, I am finally asking this question:

Ever since I bought my 55 Ply Belvedere 6cy auto, I've had brake issue problems. No matter how many times I bleed the brake lines, master cyl. etc., the pedal always goes soft after the car sits idle for a few days. I have to remind myself to pump the pedal a few times every so often or I end up purging the brake lines. Also, there's always a tendency for the car to to steer to the right and it's usually the first cylinder to start leaking fluid--Throughout the years, I replaced the brakes shoes, cylinders, etc., and it's the same.
To bleed the system I use the jar and hose method-
Is this a common problem with these cars? Anybody has the same problem?  Suggestions?

Thanks

Jesus
