What are you talking about? When it's driving? Parking? What?

I think I may know what you're talking about. Lately when I apply the brake to shift from park or reverse to drive and then let the brake off, I can feel the rear end of my car go down a bit. It's just enough for me to notice.

^^^Exactly what mine does, is this bad?

I can make it look like I have hyrdos almost, If I let the car idle with no footbrake on (in drive) and pull the ebrake the back lowers almost an inch then when I release the ebrake it raises back up.

when it is warm and wet out (basically every day... any more), when I first drive my car after it being parked a bit, when I hit the brakes my ass end squats like i pulled the e brake. It goes away after a time. I think it may have something to do with the e-brake cable as i replaced said brakes, and the wheel cylinders, but to no avail. it is a lot less frequent, and it helps to clean them out, but I've not solved the problem.

Is it that the back brakes lock up way befor the fronts, cause my old Cutless does the same damn thing. It goes away after I use the brakes a few times

Whats up guys. Yeah, i had the same problem once before. Your rear brakes are gone! You all are leaking brake fluid into the master clylinders. Your brakes will need replacing in the back.

Peace

sounds like time for a little denial on my part. My wallet can't handle replacing brakes, unless you just mean pads

hahahahahahaha. dude please never give advice again. you dont leaking fluid into your master cylinders. fluid gets moved out of the master cylinder when you hit the brakes. sheesh. maybe you might wheel cylinders? even though that would be wrong too.

when i park mine in my driveway and pull the ebrake the rear goes up a little. its because im on an incline. the car naturally moves while the wheels dont. release the brake and the car settles back down. you all could be having the same thing happening.



I used to race cars, now I race myself.
