88red4cyl Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 First off, this is on my 95 Lumi.. For the last week or so, I have noticed an issue develop when coming to a stop.. When you brake (I brake slowly as I come to the stop) it stops nice and slowly, until you're just about stopped.. Then it jerks, kinda like you slammed the brake pedal down, when you're just barely moving and comes to an abrupt stop.. The pedal feels as firm as it ever has, and like I said, it has just developed recently. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Fury Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Sounds like a sticking/grabbing caliper/drum. My Ciera does it occasionally, but I don't know why or how to correct it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88red4cyl Posted April 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Is it safe to drive the car like that? I'm going on a trip Friday-Sunday with lots of driving is why I ask.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdcutty Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 If its not too late on this one, I would get under there and check to make sure all of your caliper bolts are tight also. Its a bitch when one of those comes out while you are driving. It's happened to me twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88red4cyl Posted April 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I got it looked at today.. The noise was being made from the pads rubbing on the rotors which are incrediblly rough.. When I get back from this weekend I am going to get the rotors replaced on the rear I think.. Also need to get the driver rear wheel bearing replaced (I think).. When you drive there is a howling sound.. The car has always done it, I just thought it was the shitty tires making road noise, but we spun the rotors when we had the wheel off and it's the rotors turning that makes the noise..
