Finally decided to bleed my brakes because since I've owned the car, the brakes have acted like they had air in the lines and I know that at least one wheel was dragging the brakes. My car had broken down once with an ignition problem and my dad and I couldn't even push the car when it was out of gear and my dad is 240 lbs of muscle. Discovered that three out of four calipers were seized. With each wheel raised off of the floor, it took a lot of effort just the turn each wheel if I could turn it at all. Took some brake cleaner and a rubber mallet and managed to free up each caliper. I couldn't believe how much crud came out of each caliper with each tap of the mallet. Took it for a test drive today and it was like a new car. It was much quicker and the brakes, once bled, felt like new. Nice and firm. Total investment was two cans of brake cleaner and a container of brake fluid. Sure beats a brake job.
