Could be the flexible hoses need replacing. The collapse on the inside sometimes.

If you replace one side, also do the other side.

That's what I meant, change the hoses on both sides.

You will need to get a scanner that will allow you to do an ABS bleed to get all of the air out.

I also recommend a pressure bleeder too.
