While parked or at a stop, when I press my brakes I hear a moan. It happens with a specific amount of pressure. I can make it stop by reducing the amount of pressure. It has been going on for about 6 months or so. I figured the system needed bleading. I just replaced the front pads and rotors and blead the system and it actually seems a bit worse. Also, the peddle is still a bit mushy and I wonder if I blead the system well enough. What could be causing the moan?

Thank you for the reply I will give that a try. What is the best procedure for bleeding the brakes if I can only access one wheel at a time? Do I need to bleed from all for bleeder valves?
