Question Brake Problem?

Before my friend and I went to the track Wednesday night, he noticed a weird sound coming from my brakes.

When I apply the brakes all the time, there's a hissing sound when I press the brake and the pedal seems to go down all the way when I'm stopping from like 55-60 and apply the brakes somewhat hard.

It sounds like this: "pppppssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

My friend said it might be a brake booster or something like that. Have any of you had this problem before and do you know what it could be?

I also have warped rotors as well, is there a cheap fix for this? Thanks.

you can get the rotors turned if they are more then min thikness. that will take care of the pulsation in the pedel. this usualy runs you around 10-15 bucks a pop.


I would check the vac line going to the booster and make sure it has a good connection. also do the regualr of checking brake fluid in the master cyl. usualy when the booser goes out the pedal will get very hard but not always. most times when the pedal goes to the floor you have a leak or a bad master
