    Brake Issues

    Today my cb7 started to have brake problems. When I pulled into my parking spot and the pedal sunk right to the floor but did stop the car. I checked brake fluid and it is right up to the max line. When the car is off the pedal is stiff like it should so its not the master cylinder, is it? If I back the car up the pedal is firm but after I drive a little it starts to sink again, only when stopped.

    What can cause this, it has new front calipers.

    Ok my wrong the pedal does sink when the car is off. Well it sinks once in a while, sometimes it holds pressure and others it sinks right to the floor.

        Any way it could be the brake booster or the vacuum line going into the booster. When I press and hold the brakes the car seems to miss. The whole car vibrates and shakes.

          Ok at school we bled the master cylinder and it was good for a couple days, but now it is doing the same thing, so I bled the cylinder again and it feels good once more, is this is sign of the master cylinder going out.

            Yes - The master is bypassing, just replace it.

            A "Finished" project car is never finished until its been sold.

            If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.

                Since the thread is already labeled brake issues...
                I HAVE ONE!!!

                When i'm going 45mph or faster and hit the brake, it stops and slows fine, but it feels like the pedal is steadily punching my foot "BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP" there is no sound, oyu can only feel it if your foot is on the pedal. It does not shake the car or anything, and is not the wheels/tire. Does anybody know what it might be?

                I need new pads soonish, so i figuerd i would try replacing the rotors too.

                Oh, and they get REALLY hot. I can barely touch the rim when i'm done driving casually. Thats how hot they get.

                  You should really make your own thread as altough yours is a brake issue also, the actual problem is totally different.

                  However - Replacing your rotors and pads will fix the problem.

                    Just to let you know that when the rim gets that hot the calipers are also a culprit. I had my calipers freeze and just from driving to the store the rim was hot.
