- '93 Eddie Bauer
After extensive search, can't find a thread that describes what my '93 E. Bauer is doing.
Pressing brake pedal, there is a "sprong!" noise (actually sounds like something rotating and not meshing) and pedal is pushed back at me hard....sounds like coming from other side of firewall. Happens right after startup, first mile or so of driving. (at first only did this on sharp, low-speed turns, now happens first few stops). Then ABS light comes on and this *usually* disappears.
Following this, the brake pedal travels to the floor but normal pressure returns after one or two pumps. Goes through this cycle a couple of times, then brakes seem normal, but ABS light remains on.
Getting worse...pedal traveling to floor more frequently.
Now am having episodes of vehicle suddenly yanking to the left.
Is this all an ABS problem...the noise, the pedal being pushed back at me, the pedal traveling to the floor, the pulling to one side?
Master cylinder full, but fluid dark and dirty...can find no obvious leaks on my garage floor.
Also...noticing very low growly seemingly from left wheel starting about 35 mph...feel it more than hear it really.
Wondering if this is all related.
Thanks.
