hey guys i was juss wondering about the brake system that we have....it seems to me that whenever im cruising and i begin to decelerate and use the brakes, the steering wheel begins to turn on its own(either on the left or right)??? whats up with that...i know that they are anti-lock brakes n that its purpose is to not lock the wheel up...but y is it moving on its own???

thanks guys

 

Make sure the road is even and doesn't have grooves in it. This has been reported before. The steering is sensitive and react to uneven pavement. The brakes are excellent!

Don't worry.

 

tramlining is the name of this...don't worry it is ok...will happen in almost any sports car

 

Possessed. Perform an exorcism. LOL :D

Seriously, sounds like tramlining or one of your brake rotors is warped.

 

Warped brake rotors whould cause serious vibration in the steering wheel. Jay, do you also get that?

 

hmm tramlining...never heard that... guys but thnx tho, and no i dont have any vibration in the steering wheel. :D
guess the cars will possess us pretty soon

 

It hasn't already?

Tramlining (aka railroading) means the car follows the tracks (if it finds any). It comes quite heavily into play when you brake. You'll find out that it always happens in the same places, typically on worn out roads.

As a rule of thumb, always hold your steering wheel with both hands when you attempt to brake. The car sometimes pulls quite strong even at low speeds.

Edit: I just read the article rx8cited posted, pretty explanatory, thanks!

 

Yeah, it can pull like a m****f**** if you're not watching it sometimes
