Thanks for the replies.

Actually the rear pads have been worn down to the point that the backing of the pad is starting to scratch the rotor... Wife apparently didn’t notice the squeaking from rear during the winter due to superb sound insulation of SVX and radio! I should have checked them earlier....

So rear rotors and all pads will be replaced any way and I wanted to put in good parts this time. Of course I will do fluid flush and bleed.

But the brakes have been mushy long before this happened.

Could any one let me know how I would go about inspecting the master cylinder and wheel bearing as Trevor and rallyingrob suggested?

Visually the master cylinder has no sign of leak, but the fluid looks fairly dark brown. If the fluid is bad, I guess that could be one reason for mushiness?

Also scratch on the rear rotor is happening only 20% toward the outer circumference of rotor. Does this mean the pads were not properly bedded and would that be one reason for ill performing brakes?

Thanks again for the helps, guys!
