Ryan reported mid way through a good drive today that the front brakes seemed to suddenly lose stopping power. There are no leaks and the fluid is topped off in both reservoirs. The brakes feel firm when applied, as they normally do.
We have Wilwood residual pressure valves in the front and rear brake circuits, as recommended where the master cylinder is lower than the calipers.
I am wondering if the front residual valve has "jammed" and is interfering with the forward flow of brake fluid when the brakes are applied.
Has any one had any issues or experience with these residual valves failing, and when they do, what are the symptoms?
It is Wilwood part 260-3278. Blue colored, 2 lb pressure.
