I've had slowly deteriorating brake performance for quite a while. I'm hoping for some guidance before I start replacing parts.
The vehicle is a 94 LC with a 2" lift and 33" tires. The points that matter, I believe:
1) The brakes are not spongy. They're firm.
2) You have to use a lot of force to get decent braking.
3) The symptom is worst shortly after first starting the engine. I've learned to pump the brakes before actually starting off on a drive. It helps a bit.
4) There's no slow pedal fade when holding force on the pedal.
5) The symptoms have spanned pad changes and rotor changes.
6) I've had this vehicle since it was new and the brakes were very good back in the day.
7) The symptom started before I lifted and went to bigger tires. It seems to just keep getting very slowly worse.
Any ideas or similar threads? I looked, but all I found were bleeding issues. I don't think that's my problem.
