brakes

Long story, but ... I busted a rear brake line in my driveway. Most of the brake fluid in the reservoir puked into a nice puddle and sat for about 12 hours before I found it. I soaked up the surface puddle no problem but I'm trying to extract the fluid that soaked in. The driveway is standard...

i have a 1997 century, sometimes when i go to stop the pedal is nice and firm, other times it goes almost all the way to the floor i thought it was a blown line at first, but the master cylinder is full and it still stops fine there is no noticeable loss of braking power any ideas of what could...

2004 Century Hazards do not work - replaced the flasher module under dash. No help. DRLs only work on driver side. Turn Signal lights only light up (do not flash) when headlight knob is pulled to on position and brake is applied. Does anyone have any insight into this crazy issue? Thanks.

Brakes on 2001 LeSabre failed this morning. For some reason brake pedal went to floor while driving. Before no problems. Can stop but will not drive until I get this fixed. Lines are fine, no leakage. Reservoir is full but no hydraulic pressure to pedal. Generic manuals are no help. Anyone know...

Just notched 7,500 trouble free miles on my 1990 lesabre, (new to me a few months ago) but want to do the rear drums. I normally do my most all of my brake work, but have never done drum brakes. My only work so far is 2 oil changes and installing a bluetooth stereo. My problem is every...

The break lights on our 2000 LeSabre suddenly started staying on continuously.Even when the engine is off and the key is removed. We had to remove the battery cable keep from killing the battery. We were told by a friend that it was probably a broken break light sensor located above the brake...

I was changing the brakes on my 2002 Buick Regal LS and I took everything off like it was supposed to. Then I went to go put everything back on, but the rotor was loose. I looked around and discovered that it's fairly normal. I proceeded to put on the wheel, but the lug nut posts weren't coming...

I recently became the owner of a 1999 Buick Century Limited equipped with ABS brakes. A few days ago I noticed that the BRAKE light on the dashboard (the one which goes out after you release the parking brake) was staying on after I released the parking brake and started driving. I have not...

Hey everyone, new to the forum so thanks for any help you may be able to provide. I know all about the typical abs/AWD disable light, the wires to the sensors being to short and all that jazz. This is NOT that issues. All wires have been checked and are fine and I do not get the AWD/Disable...

I had this idea a few days ago (before the forum change) to start a thread with links to other threads in this forum that actually contain good info or pictures or part numbers. We'll call it a " ♚ Master Thread ♚ "! <-- (you can copy & paste that crown) I was looking for info on our brakes...

I know there several threads relating to soft or spongy brake pedals; however, my situation is different. When I apply my brakes normally or hard, my brakes operate perfectly But when I apply the brakes slowly (i.e. approaching a stop sign), the pedal will very slowly start sinking all the way...

So I've searched quite a lot for this information and I'm still not finding what I need. Basically I replaced 2 brake lines on my 2000 Buick Century Limited. When trying to thread the other line into the abs pump it will not thread all the way in because the threads became trashed taking the old...

I have a question, I heard a guy talking and saying he knew a guy with a chevelle elcamino, with chevrolet astro van spindles and brakes, has anyone ever heard or done this? it is suppose to lower it 2 inches also. Also I have a 425 Olds motor in mine until I rebuild my 455, it came out of an...

I drive a 1998 buick regal gs w/ supercharged 3.8. The issue I am having is with the brake pedal "dropping" about 2 inches when pressed. This activates the brake lights, and I have to pull the pedal back up with my toe. There is an audible click both when it falls and when I pull it back up. I...

I got a 94 Buick Regal GS 3.8L from my dad not that long ago. I just recently noticed that my tail lights when I brake do not get brighter. All the bulbs turn on except for the one in the back window. I also noticed that my left blinker will turn on but it won't blink. And sometimes when I go to...

Hey guys. I recently picked up a 1968 Buick Skylark with manual drum brakes. Id like to replace the front drum brakes with disc brakes. I know there are several aftermarket kits out there for $500-700. Are there any cheaper ways to piece together a front disc kit? Any info would help.
