Thank you so much my car has had a soft break pedal for six months I changed everything in the brake system looked for leaks and power bleed it so many times! On top of taking it to three different mechanics that couldn’t figure out what’s wrong with it! I jacked it up and took of the tire and the hub has play in it so I guarantee that’s what it is!
I didn't know that a bad wheel bearing could cause a low pedal. Coincidentally I've got a bad wheel bearing and a pedal with a huge deadzone. It's always like this though, not just after the first application of the brakes. I know little about this but I'm glad people like yourself are taking the time out to let us know.
Great video. I have a similar issue with my Ford vehicle and figured that it was the wheel bearing pushing the rotor back onto the caliper piston. Thank you for confirming this!
Nicely done. Always good to remember how systems interconnect and affect each other. It's easy to get tunnel vision and prematurely narrow your focus before you consider all the parts that are working together.
Thanks mate, pretty sure I'm missing a washer in the stub axle assembly behind the nut resulting in play of the wheel bearing on the stub axle, of course now after watching this I'm no longer freaking out about my breaks also not working as I was hoping this was actually what was happening and turns out it is. What a difference a simple washer makes cars stranded 2 hours away hopefully now I don't need to pay for a trailer and can just find a correct washer/spacer to suit. Thanks for the video mate
Will a bad wheel bearing cause a rumble when applying brakes? I have new caliper , new rotor and new pads . I noticed yesterday when I moved tire at 6 and 12 o clock the the wheel had play. would this play cause my brake to rumble/humm when applying brake?

Hi,
I got a similar issue. (huge deadzone) If you go out to fix it, Please, writeback if replacing the Wheel Bearing fixes your issue
After 5 hour of research and chat GTP. Nicelydone👍🏽

Thanks for the video mate
Ok but what if it's good.on first pump and the second pump is to the floor?
This happened to me! Replaced wheel bearing and brake pedal is back to working normally!
Very overlooked great job!
Wow
I have so many channels subscribed but your eaching method is exceptional and easy to understands thanks sir
Great video brother same issue with my chevy tahoe 2003

Where can I get that brake mock up? It would be perfect when I'm trying to teach exactly that problem and basic operation of the calipers.
Good video explanation af a problem so little known. World is full of people who wasted lot of money changing brake system parts unnecessarily.
GREAT KNOWLEDGE 👍
Yeah but isn't it the car vibrates while driving if that's the case in the first place? Or steering wheel vibrate when hitting the brakes?
Well dang..... now I know....
