First of all, the condition of my braking system:
Mostly fine, squeaks when cold, probably the nature of the pads. Rotors are slightly warped, high speed braking=shimmey. Wheel bearing(s) shot, squeaks at low speeds. I got new pads and rotors from MM (woohoo upgrading). So I've got all those problems under control, but here's the issue I can't figure out.
Under hard braking, like when you might expect the ABS to come on, aka testing the limits of traction of your tires, I get a loud popping noise. It will pop once or twice. Medium braking from any speed doesn't pop, but hard braking from any speed, slow or fast, it gives the popping noise. The braking doesn't fade, but the noise is discomforting and definitely isn't right. It feels like a bucking almost, and something inside of me wants to say air in the brake lines... but I really have no idea. I'll give em a good bleeding when I change out the pads/rotors this weekend, but I thought maybe this was a telltale sign of a problem I just don't know about.
