I hope they are too.

By vacuume, I went old school for a second. When I put a 383 with a huge cam in my 81 cutlass, my breaks didn't work worth **** because "the cam is eating all the vacuume pressure."

OKAY.

So I've been driving the car normal and testing out the brakes when I can, and I think the problem is gone.

The dealer said that they cylced the ABS module, no air and everything was working as it should. I guess it was dirt, air or bad fluid in the ABS module??

And the fade seems to have gone away completely. (Just to clarify the brakes were fading the same as if you were to press on the breaks in a turn.)

If this is still occuring.....

I was thinking the booster might be loosing vacuum as well. It's a pain, but see if the air tube running from the booster isn't cracked. Going to be hard looking behind the intake for the other end.

Pulling could also be a suspect tie rod end under braking if the calipers aren't bad..
