Braking changes after 5MPH
Hello again,
Since I've had the Burb, the braking behavior has always changed when slowing down below 5 MPH.
Lets say I'm traveling at 40MPH, slowing down for a stop light. When speed decreases to 5 MPH, the bake pedal suddenly drops then feels notchy (hope that makes sense). Pushing down on the pedal (from 5 and below) seems to move in steps.
The vehicle always stops just fine. It just seems to be a strange behavior.
I assumed that the change was due to the RPMs on the power steering pump slowing. I installed a new pump (due to catistrophic failure, the shaft broke), and the brakes behave the same way.
Anyone else experience this? Do you think it indicates a failing booster?
Thanks.
Dave
