Default What a day.... Help

Soo recently for the past few weeks when i turn/hit a bump i hear a pop... so to thought my mechanic thinks its balljoint... well today im driving down the road and it sounded liek something with good size was kicked up by my tire and hit under the vehicle... ok yah im pissed cause it was jsut painted and yeah if it hit the outside .... but ne how im rolling up to a light within a few seconds after this loud chatering under my car... i start to smell a burning... umm ok? wtf.... maybe a tire jusst blew but the car felt liek it was driving fine... until i went t stop at a light... NO BRAKES! to the mother ********** floor.... mind u there thre cars in front of me... i dropped it into alower gear and ripped my e-brake.... checked the tires they where fine... pulled it off the road and looked... nothing leaking nothing but no brake pressure.... w.e with no one home to assist me... i said screw it and drove it 2 miles with no brakes to my mechanic... now this ride was fun cause every bump i hit sounded like the damn front end was gonna fall out? got it to my mechanic.. the burn was on the passenger side... but there was some sort of fluid on the passenger side... unless i hit a puddle which i dont reecall... but how does no brakes.... tie in with a noisey suspension that feels liek its read to fall out...? maybe something suspension related broke n ripped a brake line?

i dont really know.... all i know is i thought i needed ball joines and my brakes are more then half good because i just repainted my calipers....

That would be my guess. What did your mechanic say? If it was that bad you should be able to see it pretty easy when its on a lift.
