Ok, heres a tough one. My mom has a 94 RS wagon w/ abs, and every now and then, the brake pedal is VERY touchy. I backed it out of the driveway the other day (when my car was out of comission) and hit the brakes a little bit, and the whole car jerked HARD and screeched to a stop (from 5mph). Ok, whatever, so i start heading out of my development, and hit the brakes a little, and it almost jerks to a complete stop from like 10-15 mph. So it stopped doing that then, and then i hit the brakes once more, and the rear wheels locked up (I know whats going on in the rear...the shoes need to be filed at the edges). Then it was ok.
But WHAT the HELL is going on with the whole car jerking to a stop?!
It doenst do it alot, and it needs new rotors up front (very warped), but is this causing the problem? or is it something in the ABS system? maybe master cylinder? ..........
