Threshold Braking - ABS Activated - Strange Noise
Hey All,
I've never really had to really slam the brakes until 2 days ago when some dumb @#$ stopped in the middle of a busy street. Anyway, I stomped the brakes and I heard and felt a type of 'grinding/popping' sound. It's hard to describe the sound and feeling in the brake pedal, but it's not like the brakes pads are worn. I found a lonely straight and tested the brakes again from 50 mph - 0. Once ABS kicked it I felt it again. Does anybody know what the heck I'm talking about and it this normal?
Cheers,
Escher

Totally normal to hear and feel the ABS pump working.

Another test would be to get your wife/gf to stand in the middle of the road while you do a 50-0 stop as you drive towards her......just to see if she hears anything :steering:
