The pressure in the system wil remain the same when you depress the brake pedal regardless of air, the air will compress, resulting in more pedal travel, but you can't have a sealed system with more pressure in one bit than the other.l3on said:
All 4 front brake pistons should move freely otherwise that will cause an imbalance, are any of the brake pads worn down more than the others, that will suggest a sticking piston.
Other than that, tyre pressures can cause a similar problem.
Have you been doing any offroading? .... damage to steering linkage or brake pipes.

someoneelse has already answered this but just incase you missed it. pressure in a hydraulic system will be constant in every part of the system. which is why it can't be air. the air will compress which is why when you have air in the systelm if you pump yer pedal it will get harder. this is due to the air being compress as much as possible. because fluid don't compress when you push the pedal what you are doing is pushing the fluid away from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders/calipers. if you have a perfect system all brakes will work as one. if you have a sticky caliper then that one will not work until you have produced enough pressure to overcome the stickyness of it, if at all. having said all that it is possible to have both at the same time ...air and a sticky cylinder also different tread patterns will affect brakes as much as anything.l3on said:
