I know that the brakes are bad and I had a shop called his and hers auto look at it and they said it was my spindle. Now when I drive down inclines and at some stop signs or whenever it feels like doing it, my foot goes all the way to the floor and won‘t stop properly. While driving its different (in traffic) it only does it once in a while. So I was just wondering what the real deal was. I thought I might just need the brakes bled but the place told me it has a bad spindle. I looked at a video on how to replace a spindle on a truck and wonder what does that have to do with the brakes? I am so lost. I just don‘t want to end up in a serious car accident from this problem.
Emily, If your foot goes to the floor while braking it can be two things. First is that their is a leak in the brake system somewhere letting in air. Only air can be compressed which is why your foot would go to the floor. The second is that you have drum brakes and the pads need to be adjusted out which would in turn raise the brake pedal in the car. I'd bet that you have a leak somewhere in the brake system that is letting in airthis would be my best guess without seeing the truck. The spindle is a tapered rod that comes off of the steering knuckle and holds all the brake components and bearings. I don't see how this would cause your foot to go to the floor when you're braking. Check your brake booster fluid level under the hood. If its very low or dry then you definitely have a leak. Good luck.

If it has a tube, this has a hole in it. Best to take the old tube out, get a new heavy tube, put it in, be careful not to pinch it with your tire irons.
