1. Jonathon Says: I was driving the other day, and i heard a knocking noise coming from the front end of the car, sorta below my feet, the drivers side. I was pretty sure it was the drive shaft. Anyways, while u was driving, all of a sudden i hear scraping on turns, and something breaks and my steering wheel goes really crooked, and the brakes wouldn't catch. When i got home, i took off my tire, and the outer end of the driver shaft that goes into the roter had broken off. So i replaced that and the steering knuckle. But now my brakes still feel like there is no pressure, there are no leeks or anything,and the brake pads are fine.

Pleeeease help, somebody!

Thanks in advance!

As your driving keep tapping brakes for a wile see if it helps also.

5. pedro7of9 Says: bleed brakes,,,just cause u dont see fluid leaking doesnt mean theres no leak,,if AIR is leaking in pedal will get soft,,,maybe bad master cylinder
