Squishy brake problem

hey guys,

I just had my rear axle replaced, due to a slight bend in the previous one, causing my wheels to wobble, but after reassembling everything, and bleeding out the brakes, i've noticed that the brakes work fine, but after 30 mins of driving it starts to get super soft, and it looses it's force as i apply it...i have double checked everything, and made sure i tightened everything in place...i bled the brakes again, but the problem still persist...

What could be the problem?

Sounds like air in the system but I know you've already bled them. Another thing to check could be the brake servo pipe from the intake manifold in case there's a crack possibly.

Double check what you took apart, sounds like there is air getting into the system causing the pedal to go soft.

i took a 3rd look at everything lastnight, and it looks alright, except for a loose caliper slider for the right hand-side, but i tightened it, and the problem persist...i think i'll take it to a mechanic just to be sure, because it's hell to drive...
