No big deal here, just a first time observation.
'Twas a rainy drive south on the Interstate yesterday. Lots of rain, spray, splashing, fog, condensation....everything wet.
I'd touch the brakes when necessary and feel nothing. Leaning on 'em a bit caused a minor, somehow exaggerated vibration and finally a predictably even braking effect.
The first time was near alarming. I could see a mechanically disinclined person panicing.
How "well lubed" the brake hardware STAYED at less-than-strong pressures was surprising.
The few times I tested it for real involved peddle pressure far in excess of "surprised stopping" and 10 car lengths were needed to BEGIN stopping the car.
Anybody ever experience that?
Just for giggles, I'm going to inspect my 15,000 mile old front and 46,000 mile old rear brakes.
ps Today (dry day) the brakes feel just fine. No hint of pulsing / vibration.
