braking problem

[WIALERO]

Well heres the sad news...pads and rotors only have 6000u miles on them brake fluod is ful but when i turn or go straight i get this loud clunking and grinding and vibration and then i lose all pressure in my brakes and when i press on the brakes after no pressure it goes straight to the floor the drivet side wheel locks up or vibrates and it gets really loud and snnoying but i dont see anything loose or wrong what could it be?

[sleepyalero]

air in system?

[WIALERO]

I dont think so what would explain the grinding and thumping sounds like the rim is catching on the brake ass and then you hear this big clunk clunk then you brake and it seems to have little to no pressure then later on it will have pressure then when i turn left on the bad side thats having problems it makes a really bad vibration and it feels like the brake rotor is stuck or grinding and its just really bad

Check your calipers to make sure they're not grinding on the wheel.

I want to say this might end up being your wheel bearings because you hear grinding noises, but I'm not sure how that would relate to loosing pressure.... unless ABS?

[WIALERO]

Abs light never comes on the only time abs works is when im on ice or snow and i lightly press on the brakes then my ass end locks up

[Nas Escobar]

Then I want to assume that your ABS is messed up because ABS is supposed to be on all the time. You know that it works when the brake pedal tries to push your foot up. It feels like a very nasty vibration sensation.

[WIALERO]

Im just thinkin about pullin the fuse on it see if it makes any difference

[WIALERO]

And with the car running in park i step on the brake and press it in i hear a clicking nouse from the driver side by the wheel i have not had time to rip it all apart but now its un drivable so i have to figure out a way to get it to my house so i can rip it all apart and figure it out

[sleepyalero]

that clicking noise is the caliper piston, mine did it to, it just basically means they are dry, i always sprayed pb blaster on the outside of the piston under the rubber and it fixed that clicking noise.

I had a silverado do the same thing. Bad wheel bearing on that truck. As u turned it would compress the caliper and u would loose brakes untill it pumped up again.

If your going to do the repair your self it will be easy to do. Visual inspections, knowledge of how to check the wheel bearings and some common sence will probably show u exactly what's wrong

thats pretty much what its doing thanks! il post up some pics when i get on it and show ya al how bad they are

[WIALERO]

Found out what the problem was took it to a shop since i dont have a place to do it myself and the shop said the wheel hub is busted and falling apart

[WIALERO]

Mybad the whole wheel hub assembly

[sleepyalero]

they are gonna charge you out the ass for that. i would try to do it yourself. its literally about a 15-20 min job. (atleast for me) it might take you 30-40 if its your first time. especially breaking loose the bolts and stuff

[WIALERO]

118 for the hub ass and 90im for labor had them do it already the old one was in peices and just fell apart when they pulled it out of there i watched then it literally fell apart and the bearings inside were all flat on one side it was bad when i get on the comp at the library next time i go up there il put some pics up

[sleepyalero]

damn alright.

[WIALERO]

Had no where to do it otherwise i woulda done it by myself

You can't work in your parking lot?

[WIALERO]

Driveway? Lol no step dad is kinda an ass but after ass im moving back to iowa to live with my girl friend so then il have my own garage

[03glgold]

parts stores will allow you to work in their parking lots...sometimes they can make more money that way when you notice something you don't have

[03Sleepr]

03gl is exactly right...I've changed all kinds of things in parking lots from belts to complete transmissions, sometimes people that work at the stores are willing to help too..

[WIALERO]

The junk yard jawa says i can get a good deal on parts will possibly let me switch hoods there and sell it to them for scrap and possibly my fender idk

I assumed it was a parking lot since you should be able to work in your driveway. Some HOAs don't like it but its a lot harder when you live in an apartment... that's why I asked

[WIALERO]

Nice new pic sleepy lol

our cops aren't that bad but they are pretty bad...I have seen one of our city cops hide about a mile outside of his jurisdiction because people are usually speeding some up the hill into town so he can come from nowhere and chase people into town to try and give them a ticket as soon as they hit city limits...haven't seen that happen since he did it to some older guy and got his ass ripped...They also like to play the tailgate game where they follow about half a car length behind you to try and get you to make a mistake so they can pull you over, they will even go as far as pulling this in the snow...I personally like their game because I will drive straight through town 5 under the speed limit making sure to do everything perfect which irritates the crap out of them...Now i guess the wakefield cop has done that to one of my friends before...it is rediculous how crooked a police force can be...I have seen them pull someone over for speeding and seen a drug deal clearly go down in broad daylight less than 100 yards away, but since the majority of our police force does drugs the dealers stay out of jail for the most part...since it is a problem people want fixed they will arrest dealers and people who have used, but they release the dealers within less than a week with a short probation period and send the others to jail...In concordia there was an incident where some people out at the club took someones vehicle and took off and rolled it...someone picked them up using a white grand prix and somehow it turned into being a red dodge truck which my roomates (and friends) girlfriend was driving at the time, so the cops decided to question all of us and determined that we were lying because our times matched up to close, it is sad that it is to the point where I don't trust law enforcement.
