Please remind me, what year is the car?

How much lining is on the fronts?

How thick are the rotors?

If you compare the pedal pumping it with the parking brake on & off is there=
 much difference?

Calipers are expensive to replace/rebuild so I=E2=80=99d try cheaper stuff f=
irst. Worn out front pads or worn down rotors can cause the fronts to not wo=
rk. Pads are the cheapest but will also mask other problems if the real prob=
lem isn=E2=80=99t the pads =20

Peace,
Pat

Honestly there really are no gravel roads around here.

I tried today pumping the pedal.  No difference

But then I got it up to 40+, took it out of gear and stomped the brake pedal=

Clearly, as I had suspected, I have no front brakes.  But when I bleed the f=

So where is the best place to have the front rotors rebuilt???
