Re: Ford E-350 Spongy Brake by John Newman
Post New Message Just wanted you guys who posted concerning my spongy brake problem know that I have yet to solve that problem. Haven't worked on it much in the last month, haven't needed the RV and sickness and death in wife's family took priority; however, I did jack up the back and check the brake adjustments, they are OK.

Was advised to check the valve where the hose enters the booster...I did, it is OK. Was also advised that a hole in the booster diaghpram could cause the problem; however, I do not know how to check for a hole unless check that the booster will maintain vacuum with engine stopped...it does that.

Next, I plan to check front brakes as I think the pads could stand changing. If all that checks out, one more system bleed and if that doesn't fix the problem, will take it to someone who has the scanner to work the valves in the ABS unit. I understand that air in the ABS unit itself can cause the problem...wish me luck...I need it.
