99RegalGS Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 My Friend has a 92 GP 3.1 w/o ABS. His brakes are acting weird. When you push down on the brakes normaly the pedal goes to the floor and if you push it hard the car will pull to the left. But if you hit the brakes sharply it will act like normal. What do you think is wrong??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Pad wear, rotor depth, brake fluid; could be anything with little information... When was the last time it was looked at? Any service records? - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian89gp Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 It could be what Erik said but I would guess either air in the lines (only if the calipers or master cylinder have been taken off) or that the master cylinder is bad. If you hit it sharply and hold it down does the pedal slowly creap to the floor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted November 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 I talked to him tonight. It could be what Erik said but I would guess either air in the lines (only if the calipers or master cylinder have been taken off) or that the master cylinder is bad. If you hit it sharply and hold it down does the pedal slowly creap to the floor? He had replaced the rear pads on the car a month ago. (First time doing any brake service on his car). And when he holds it down it does slowly go to the floor. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1138 Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 I'm thinking one of his brake lines is leaking. I'm currently running with my driver's rear caliper non-functional (no rotor, C-clamp on the line until a caliper can be afforded). Before I put a C-clamp on the line, the pedal would go all the way to the floor. Check all your calipers, maybe use a c-clamp on each line, with the car on, hitting the brake pedal each time. If not, there might be a problem with the master cylinder. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
