So a few days ago my brake line going to the rear axle by the fuel tank rusted a hole in the line and I got it replaced and the mechanic only bled the one caliper that was the closest ( left rear ) and now I can hear a swishing when I drive and it feels like the brakes are dragging. Do I need to bleed the rest of the calipers? ( yeah it was the same guy who did my A/C compressor and f'd it up...) is the problem the rest of the calipers need bled? ( also when the line broke the pedal didn't go all the way to the floor maybe a inch from the floor. ) it's a 2003 supercrew 4x4 with discs on all 4.

Yeah, I'd start by bleeding the brakes and going from there.

Thanks. I'm going to replace the front lines and bleed them all along with replacing the pads and rotors.
