[fatlando]

This just started happening. I'm cruising down the road, go to a stoplight...

step on the brakes...and nothing. start downshifting and pumping the brakes and they come back.

Where do i start? any experts who arent at the WCC??

Shane, don't answer, because i already know you know nothing!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

If the rotors are wobbling they'll push the pads out thus you have to stomp on the pedal a few times to bring the pads back in contact. Trev, When I was getting my car inspected in Dec 04, the mechanic said my rotors might need rotating in 6 months... me being new to this stuff, just blew it off......could that be it. if so, what does that entail? fat lando

that could be it...

as far as what it entails: they resurface them, much like what is done with the flywheel on a clutch change... they shave a little off, to remove any high spots... if they are still in spec, thickness wise, this is a good move... if they are getting thin, I would replace them all with new ones... they run about $50 each...
