I noticed that whenever doing a hard turn, the brakes are really soft and I have to pump them a little to get them back to hard. I think the reason for this is that the rotors, when turning, press the brake pads in and push the brake pistons back into the housing. Then I have to pump the brakes to get the pistons back out. Is this right? Possible symptom of low brake pads? Thanks

I can't comment on the pads rubbing against the rotors when turning, but I can say looking at your pads can't hurt, and neither can looking at your rotors and calipers.

Check your brake line and your brake fluid supply. Your brake line might have some sort of problem, though.


The softness of the brakes may be attributed to your tires, too. Tire are under more load when turning, so that also could have something to do with it.
