Breaks

Post by Kev659 »

when i press on the break pedal my driver front brake caliper make a banging sound. In the pedal it feels like a delay. Could there be a problem with the brake caliper or air in the line?

air in the line you would feel as if you had no brakes. sounds to me there is a bolt not tight causing the caliper to shift

yes the banding sound is a sticking caliper
if its the caliper itself then it needs a rebuild
but if its sticky slides then just lub it all up when reassebly
when you do everything correct people arent sure youve done anything at all (futurama)

Could also be the brake booster. I had a similar problem that went away after replacing the booster.
