Brake problem
 

I have 00 civic EX with 40K miles. When I hit brake my staring wheel shakes and I can hear noise. If I don't press brake paddle hard then brake works little better. This started recently before brake were sloppy. It took longer time to stop.
I don't think its my pad or rotors. I took it to mechanic and he told me it is Master cylinder.
So I don't know what is wrong. Please help me out guys.

Warped rotors.. or Bad CV axle

Replace your rotors and pad's for like 50.00

If you have the knowledge to do so.

Well i dont think there is anything wrong with your master cilynder but that the rotors are worped and maybe your pads are too thin i would get them checked again and please dont put aftermarket rotors if they are stock right now only use original parts they are alittle more expensive but it be better in the long run or try to see if you can get them resurfaced it be cheepe..

I don't think so. My car has 40000 miles on it.

Re: (Jaydeep)
 

depends on how hard the car has been driven for those 40k miles

Change your rotors first and see what happens.
