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) |

Honestly don't know what rotating rotors means. Like rotors rotate all the time when your moving????
All the suggestions for bleeding & checking lines are spot on, definitly the first stuff to check. If that all fails then try these checks. Jack the car up, leave her out of gear. Pump brake pedal so its firm. Got to each wheel individually & give it a few turns. after each spin of the wheel, Return to brake pedal & re-pump. When the brake pedal get noticably longer you've found the problem corner. how to fix, IMO if your rotors are old buy some new ones. If there newer or have plenty of life left have them re-surfaced, machine shop should be able to sort you out. |
