Brake issue.

blackflag · 02-18-2010, 11:00 PM

Does anybody else have this issue? Occassionally, if I push the brake pedal, it's firm...but if I let up and push again, the point where it's firm is a little higher in the travel. Is this normal?

I had this on another car a while back, but it was a whole lot worse. The pedal would go way down on the first push, then be much higher on the second push...but this isn't nearly as bad. Very slight here.

Anybody else? Any ideas?

Thanks, man...there's no way I would have found the term "knockback."

No problem! I had to do a few searches myself because I knew what it was but I just forgot what the generally accepted term for it was.
