maybe the lines are loose
maybe you need new lines
maybe you need to bleed the brakes

check your master cylinder or pump(that big black thing on the fire wall... sorry dont know what that damn think is called.... ) that tends to give a burnt smell and ruins your braking power......

If one of your calipers is dragging a bit, when you use the brakes, the dragging pads will be hot and will grab hard and can give off some odor. Check all your wheels and see if one has alot more brake dust than the others.


Damn, my bad guys, I just noticed the date, lol. I was doing some searches and ...

This has to be some kinda record for oldest post revived, lol.
