Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has run thru this in any car and what it was, my friend is a mechanic and he's thinking its the brake booster, but id like to get some feedback.

Problem: The brake pedal is really hard to push down, i mean we just put front rotors and pads on and bed em in and the pedal is still hard feels like ur driving on drum brakes. I took the rears apart and the rotors are junk not worn evenly so i didnt put rear pads on (which i have) but gonna wait for rear rotors as well.

Found a seized front slider but still hard brake pedal does anyone have any idea?

Thanks guys

Not sure if this is possible on these or not, but on my mom's Bonneville, she had something in the abs I believe it was, and it actually made the pedal feel like you had absolutely 0 assistance. I mean absolutely no power help, really a PITA and unsafe to drive. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't remember if it threw a code or not. I believe it did, but I am not sure. I was just throwing it out as an alternative if that turns out to not be the case.
