Odd brake issues
I just did a brake job on my car. New pads and rotors on all four wheels plus a new (reman) caliper on the front driver's side. Braking in a straight line is smooth at all speeds with zero pulse in the pedal.
however....
Sometimes when I'm applying decent force, like braking from a 55 to a 35 zone, I will feel a firm pressure with good stopping force, then the pedal will go soft and sink a little ways before the pressure returns. When it does this, the pedal seems to feel firmer, earlier in the travel than usual.
I've also noticed that when I do anything that compresses the front right suspension (e.g. fast turn to the right or driving up on a curve) while braking, I get feed back in the pedal....as if the act of compressing the suspension is increasing the brake pressure and applying the brakes.
The final thing is that I am still getting brake chirp on the right side of the car. It sounds like a brake pad is worn out, even though I have less than 500 miles on all of the components.
I've pulled both right side wheels off and looked at everything, and nothing obvious is wrong. Pads and rotors are wearing normally...everything is tight...nothing is pinched.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?
