Axle bearings hold the brake rotor true without play while they both rotate.
Abs brake pedal goes to floor.
Technically there are two main causes that would make the brake pedal sink all the way to the floor.
Check your brake fluid.
Reasons your brake pedal goes to the floor.
Brake pedals can go down to the floor for various reasons.
1 leak from brake line or brake caliper.
If you step on the brake pedal and it has little to no pressure and goes all the way to the floor especially if you re getting no braking.
If this bearing goes bad it will allow the brake rotor it move back and fourth which pushes the caliper piston back into the caliper creating an air gap.
No brake pressure pedal goes to floor.
One of the signs that your brake system is not properly functioning is the brake pedal being soft or spongy which means the pedal goes down to the floor when pushed.
If your brake pedal sinks towards the floor when you are stopped while your foot is on the brake or does not feel as firm when the brakes are applied this could indicate you are having some sort of trouble with.
This lets the pedal sink to the floor.
If the brake pedal sinks to the floor only when the abs unit activates then your isolation valves may be the problem.
If the abs unit activates but does not isolate the brake pedal the brake fluid will flow directly into the the accumulator a spring loaded brake fluid container for abs systems.
A brake pedal that feels mushy spongy or that slowly sinks to the floor when depressed can be best described as brake pedal sink.
The leak may coming from a brake line or one of the brake calipers.
The final reason for a brake pedal to go to the floor is failing axle bearing.
If it s low top it off to the mark on the side of the reservoir.
