Braking problem
Braking problem
Hi fellows. Since recently, i noticed that when i press on the brakes, when coming to a stop, sometimes the vehicle runs on a couple feet before stopping. It doesnt happen everytime, but now and then. I also hear an inconsistent knocking sound coming from somewhere underneath the car. It happens once in a while and i dont know if it is related to the brake issue. I will be checking with my mechanic, but i wanted to know if anybody had any ideas as to what it could be. I tested the booster as per the manual, but it seem to be tight. The brake isnt spongy, when i step on it, but quite hard.
89 gq dx. bone stock --- for now.
Re: Braking problem
Knock may be unrelated. Have you checked the calipers and pads. All secure and in good working order? I had a slave cylinder leak in a caliper and noticed it ran on a bit. Some fluid was getting onto the rotor just enough so it took longer to bite and stop.
Could be a bit of water build up in the fluid and not feel spongy.
Regardless it's the brakes and you should get it diagnosed and fixed straight away. Go to a brake specialist today. If they fail catastrophically you'll be steering 2 tonne of a wreck waiting to happen where you could be held liable for any death or destruction.
Driving around on brakes that run on is like driving on bald tyres when it comes to stopping when and where you won't to.
