I just have a question about my brakes on my 96 civic hatch...

When I turn sharp corners... or U-turns... (not fast just normal speed) when I straighten out my car.. and continue driving.. if I have to step on the brake it goes to the floor.. it will still apply the brake.. but barely. Once I let off that brake pedal, and step on it again it goes back to normal?? I have not a clue what it is... Anybody that could help I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Air in the brake lines. Bleed your brakes.

 

That's what I was thinking.... But 1st of all would cause the line's to obtain an air pocket? and why does it only happen when I turn?

 

Hard to say what would cause air to get in there. It could even be that moisture has gotten in over a long period of time & by now the boiling point is really low.

I really don't know why it would only happen when you turn.

But bleeding thoroughly, so all the fluid is fresh is still a good place to start. You should do that every couple years anyway.

 

ya haven't done that in who knows how long. Thank you.
