Help on a 99 Durango
I just bought a 99 Durango with 57000 miles on it. The guy said that it needed brake work. So I(myself) changed the rear drums and the rotors,pads and claipers on the front.
Took it for a ride and they just didnt seem to be catching right. Went and bleed the brakes(all 4 ) and now it stops better and the nose is starting to dip when brakes are applied. But I have to pump like twice to three times before I have a pedal.
I guess my question is there a SPECIAL way to bleed brakes? I did rear(L) to Front(R) and then crossed back over and did the other two.
It has a V-8 with ABS
Thanks in advance

after spending countless hours of my own time & still having mushy brakes one day, pedal to the floor another day, 1 rear brake drum smoking, & even having the rear brakes lock up, i finally brought it to my mechanic when they locked up at 70mph.....ripping the pads, springs & clips out of the backing plate. he re-did everything i did & told me to test drive....still didn't feel right, he took it apart several times & had problems bleeding the rear brakes especially. replaced one of the rear rubber lines, which from the outside looked & felt fine. PERFECTO. upon closer examination, this one rubber line had a soft spot approx 3/8" around-so soft you could push it together with your fingers. assumption was the the was squeezing tight & not always releasing properly, causing the rear brakes to not release all the time.
