Q: Lost power to my front brakes but i still have power to the back.
i feel like i have lost power to my front brakes and am not sure if the are releasing all the way. i feel all the breaking coming from the back end. i have bled all four corners and still have no pressure. the peddle goes all the way to the floor. i am suspecting that it could be the proportioning valve but i am not positive. is there any way to know for sure if it is my PV or could it be my master cylinder?
