Default What causes this??????

I've had some trouble lately with my brakes, but here is something I am noticing that I don't recall ever noticing before. When I have have the wheels turned almost all the way to the right or left, the brake pedal gets real hard to push in. I've never noticed if this did it before, but since I have been paying more attention to my brakes lately I notice it a lot when I am pulling into a parking space. Is this normal?

No it's not normal, and most likely you are somehow kinking or pinching a brake line....

Yeah, when there is a kink or restriction, the fluid had nowhere to travel and it feels like you are pushing on brick, not a brake pedal.
