Subject:Eeeek! Brakes?
From:Todd Last

Traveling down from Tahoe this weekend, in the mad bumper-to-bumper
traffic,
I had to make more than my share of panic stops.

To my surprise, I found that I could ground the brake pedal, but the Van
came nowhere near locking any of the brakes.
I had replaced the front pads not that long ago, so I am wondering...

If I had rears way out of adjustment, would this cause the problem I am
describing?

Brake pedal spongy on hard/full application,
able to get the pedal to the floor without locking the brakes (hot
brakes)

thanks
