Hi,
First of all I would like to appologise for possible broken English since it's only my 3rd language.Anyway my problem is as follows:
I drive a 1984 BMW 320i(they weren't sold in the States).
Cars is nearly perfect,but braking performance really warries me.As I press the pedal it first travels quite a long way before I get some feeling that the brakes are actually working.Then the pedal travel is very short and if I brake from smth like 35-50 mph it's not very stable and once I even impeded a lock up and "kissed" a rear bumper of a Mercedes 190.It left my front bumper somewhat scratched,and bent but Merc was fine.Anywaythe check revealed nothing.The front dics wear is normal drums seem to be ok too.But when I brake I can hear some sound cooming from the right rear.It sounds as though wheel touches something inside.Pretty weird,anyone has any suggestions?
Thank you
