Brake fade/ABS feel when turning while braking Why would my brake pedal l feel like the ABS is kicking in and have horrible brake fade while turning? It's not even while aggressively driving. I mean if I'm coming up to a moderate bend in the road as low as 30 mph and have to stop for like a yield sign, it'll act up. It's far worse at higher speeds.
This is all on my recently bought daily TA. I haven't touched the brakes yet, but I've inspect the pad and they have plenty of life. I do plan on buying ceramic pads all the way around and bleeding the brakes at the very least soon. I've also noticed my rear brakes dust like crazy while the fronts have almost zero dust. Maybe the fronts are glazed over or ceramic already? Either way, a few moderate stops and my brakes are faded so they are getting changed for sure.

Maybe the brake hoses need replacing. If its happening while turning, maybe theyre soft enough to where theyre getting pinched or collapsing enough to restrict brake fluid flow....just an idea.

Bleed the front brakes and make sure fluid is able to transfer through them. If your rears are dusting that heavily, something is forcing an extreme biasing towards the rear.
If you can, grab an IR pyrometer and after some driving see if the front rotors have any heat in them- that'll tell you if the calipers are even compressing onto them. or if one side is compressing more than the other side.

Yep, check the hubs first. Abs reluctor is integrated in the hub, as the hub loosens up, so does the abs sensor, always freaks out the abs. Having the Abs issues while turning is a dead giveaway.

I've since topped off the brake fluid which was a hair low and replaced all the pads with some good ceramic ones. So far things are feeling much better, but I haven't been able to thoroughly test it yet.
