  • Brake Issues

    Hey guys,
    The problem is when I push my brake pedal at freeway speeds my pedal does not come up for a few seconds, its like my foots still on it. I have ABS, but the light is not on for a malfunction. Also I have drilled/slotted rotors, but just started having the problem...a good 5k since theyve been on. I tried bleeding the brakes, that didnt seem to help. Any I deas? Do I need to use my hand pump to bleed the brakes better maybe? Any help would be awesome its driving me crazy.

    Man, that sounds really dangerous. I have no clue what it is, but if you cannot figure it out, get it someplace and get it fixed quick.

      does the pedal not come up or your brakes not disengage? if its not disengaging, i would suspect the gasket on the pistons that pulls the pistons back or a "flapper" in the lines that would restrict back flow. Are you having problems engaging the brakes like having to push farther than normal to apply them?

        bleed bleed and bleed again. just the tinyest bit of arm in those lines will make a big difference. also you can try to switch to steel braded break line.

          I can try bleeding them again I guess. They apply just fine, just the pedal does not return to the nuetral position unless I pull it up at freeway speeds.

              No the pedal along with the brakes do not disengage.
