Some Brake Questions...
Ever noticed how touchy the brakes are when you first start up your car, head off, and then you step on the brake to slow down for a stop sign? After the 3rd or 4th application, it goes back to being spongy, but not as touchy..
Why?
Also, coming near a stop, I sometimes hear a soft "clank clank" comming from the wheels. Any idea of what it is? I assume it's the brake calliper or the rotors;they are warped. The brakes are covered by which warrenty? I have 33K miles, I hope its not the 36K bumper to bumper

Dont know if that is true or not.
The spongy feel in the brakes means there is air in the lines and that it needs to be bled.

I have been told that the sound you are hearing is the universal joints, and that it is normal, and that besides replacing the drive shafts, there is nothing you can do about it.

"That's normal, they all do that."

the brakes are 'touchy' when you first start off because they are cold. They tend to bite harder when cold. As the brakes heat up, they feel different. As for the noise you hear, I don't know. I don't hear anything like that.
