I would first start by bleeding your brakes before spending money that you may not need to. When you do bleed them start with the brake that is the furthest from them master cylinder. Start with the rear passenger side then rear drivers side, front passenger, then the front drivers side. This is the correct order to bleed the brakes. I hope this help. Let me know if it works for you or not.
Good Luck
