Several Problems (Axle, Brakes, Motor)

[slugger2218]

Ok i think all of these link together but i got a couple of problems and trying to figure out if they are linked or different.

First is when i take off and turning to the left. about half throttle when i got into second gear it wants to nose dive and then all of a sudden picks back and doesn't do it. it does it every once in awhile in first gear. but not much. oh and it doesn't do it when i turn right.

next problem is when i turn left when accelerating i hear a knocking noise in the right front. i believe its the cv axle but I'm trying to confirm that. and does that link up with the first problem?

next is when i sit in traffic for like ten minutes my brake seems to get softer and softer til it's to the floor and when i let up and roll a little bit it goes back to normal.

and finally when i use to hit the brakes it was like it popped in the floor board drivers side. well it quit doing it and now when i back up and hit the brakes it pops but only if I'm rolling five mph or so.

I think the first three problems are linked but idk about the last. i know its a lot to read but if yal could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
nick

Is your car stock? If not, what have you done to it?


Jack your front end up, crawl under there, and check the conditions of your ball joints, tie rod ends, axle boots, and sway bar bushings. If there's any issue with the suspension, it's due to one or more of those things, most likely. Also check your struts. If they're covered in grease, they're blown (which would cause issues as well).

The brake issue is your master cylinder. When the pedal sinks to he floor, the brake master cylinder is going bad. The only option is to replace it.
