Wait. You are supposed to change rubber brake hoses every 5 to 10 years? I live in Pennsylvania and we have strict safety inspections. All vehicles must be inspected annually. The only way we replace brake hoses is if they are cracked,frayed or leaking. Most times on my own vehicles. I just...
Could it be the caliper? The calipers are not expensive. But I am not sure that the proportioning valve would just effect 1 side. I only seen them go bad by leaking. But I guess it is possible. But I would try the caliper first. Less then $30. core was $25. last time I bought them. happy...
