i have noticed in the past few months my car has developed a weird problem.

when breaking harder than average, tires dont stick to the ground and instead squeal and squeak. not the point where ABS kicks in, but to the point where i go "huh? what was that?"

about 6 months ago i had all new tires put on and alignment done (minor changes were done). i know i am also due for new brake fluid and brake system flush. could that be an issue?

so what could the problem be? need new brake fluid? could by 996TT bumper screwing up aerodynamics? or could it be that i simply got used to porsche breaking and now expect more from it?

 

Change break fluid and pump air out of the lines. More importantly if you know nothing about cars please take it to a professional. Many times people who think they know everything know nothing at all. This is not the case here but just an observation in life.

thanks. the most i can do when it comes to breaks is change the pads. everything else gets done by a pro. thanks for words of wisdom though

(oh, and i did DIY almost everything in the car)

 

Just watching your back because sometimes wipikedia makes things look so easy.

P.S. Of course you don't use Wipikedia.

 

of course not. wikipedia is for liberal sissies who believe in silly stuff like evolution, global warming and science! i use Conservapedia!!!

 

TT bumper has NOTHING to do with braking issues......how are your tires? Maybe they are losing grip because they are worn?

 

new tires as of 6 months ago.

 

Which tires and when was the last time you checked your pressures?

 

fronts are 34. check every week.

Michelin Pilot Sport Rib N1 all around.

i think the problem is mostly noticeable on un-even asphalt. the car bounces and hence cant grip it as much as it should. not sure why i am noticing it now though.

 

What suspension? 18's or 19's?

 

user error? hahaah

 

ROW M030 18"

 

you mean, the problem is between the steering wheel and the seat?

 

Do you notice any problems with handling, such as the car bobbing over bumps? Could be a bad shock if so.
Also could be that you glazed the pads/rotors if you overheated them when bedding them in.

 

jkb.. you'd need to have james drive it. Could be too many things to list
