brake problem!!!

95BlackStang · January 27th, 2009, 01:02 AM

ok, so i was on my way home from work and when i get to the entrance to my neighborhood i proceeded to stop as i normally would when my pedal drops all the way down and i barely get the car to stop, then i noticed that smoke started commin out of the from under the car. i think i might have a rip somewhere in the line bc when i pump the brake i still have good pedal feel, but when i just press down on it it just drops all the way down. HELP me ASAP

I just fixed mine. Had the same problem after i did some front end work. The easiest thing to do is look for a puddle of brake fluid under the car. The smoke is probably from it hitting the exhaust. I used some compression fittings to fix mine and it worked great. It cost me $3.00 and took about 10 min. to fix once i found it. The size of the brake line is 5/16"

its kool fixed the leak and i heard that if you have to much pressure in your line the compression fittings could pop out.

Glad to hear you got it fixed. The compression fittings are bolted together, so they can't pop out. They compress a flange onto the brake line. Anyway, I'm glad you got it fixed. Was it something simple?
