braking under high speed

**Goldtooth** · 09-26-2006, 09:29 PM

What does it point/lead to when braking under high speed, that the car feels like its losing control or wants to slide/veer out?

alignment issue, or different pressure from each of the calipers. double check to see if they are sliding freely, because sometimes if one grabs harder than the other, youll have pull to that side.

the car was just aligned when we got new tires, about a month ago.

and the pressure from the calipers, would I feel anything on city roads? cuz it feels normal, I only feel the "veering" when stomping on the brakes coming down from like 100+

also, how would I go about checking the calipers?

i dont know how you would go about checking them, ask a mechanic.

but what the fuck are you doing at a 100mph. ur fucking crazy

could also be your bushings are worn out and the car is "squatting" apart under braking. Check your caliper sliders, even pull em out and gently grease em. Check for uneven brake pad wear. Under inflated tires will cause alot of "veering" at higher speeds too. Mine feels rock solid and brakes like crazy from 120+MPH, the hotter they get, the better they work.

Hawk HPS all around FTMFW !!!!!!!!!

I have Hawk HPS on the front and stock OEM on the rear. Tires arent under- inflated. I have them at like 38psi for the front and 35 for the rear.

ehhh, I am not good at all with these bushing as far as location of them goes and replacing them, as I've never touched the brakes. same goes for the caliper sliders....:banghead:

what kinda tires are you on ? size and brand ? also plays a key role here.....

Bushings are in your subframe, lower control arms..... when they wear out the steering is all sloppy. Mine is comparable to that of a EVO, very go-kart like. The small steering wheel made a huge diff in steering response.

like-new Michelins, about or less than 1000 miles on them, 215/55/16? I believe, the stock SE size.
