I got a brake job today 'cause I thought the pedal was traveling too far. When the shop took it apart, the pads were definately gone, thin and cracked all over. They replaced them, bled the system, checked the front end for any looseness and aligned it.
However, when I got it back, the pedal seems to be the same. I measured the travel: out of a possible 9 inches from Go to Floor, they are not effective until pressed approximately 4 inches. The actual "freeplay", that is when you first feel the pushrod contact the master cylinder, is only about 3/4 ", which ain't that bad. So is 3" of "softness" normal, or should I press this issue further?
