Brake Problems!

Post by 92RedMX3 »

Ok, here's my lis of problems...<p>When i was driving doing about 75Mph or so and was needing to come to a stop quickly, well i lay on my brakes and I'm pretty positive I had it nailed to the floor and she didn't lock up brakes nor stop nearly quickly enough..... The pad's appear nice and think and such. Now the back brakes I dont hold very well as far as I can tell, I put on new pads, taped the auto adjuster a little so that the drum would fit back and when i reverse and hit the brakes either nothing or worse. I dont know if the back is not engaging which I suspect could be the problem. Someone please help me out here. Also I think I might hear a pop from the front brakes every once in a while and if I am sitting at idle and hit the brakes hard the idle jumps a little.<p>please help!

check to see if you're running low on brake fluid, or if there's air that leaked into your brake system.
