Spoungy Brakes...

Ever since the snow slides my cars breaks have seemed rather spoungy. Not a whole lot of pressure at the pedal, and when I'm cruisng at 30mph or faster then tap the brakes the car jerks to the left a bit then comes back. I still have stock spec brake components and I have not done anything to the brakes since I owned the car, last September. I have added brake fluid here and there but that didn't really seem to do anything.

Thanks guys

start by checking you don't have a caliper slider hanging up. OK, start by making sure you're not loosing fluid anywhere. & check the master cyl for leak residue at the booster. also take a look at your flex lines, one may be ballooning.

One way to check for a possible leak at the caliper is if there is fluid on the inside of the rim. It's hard diagnosing brakes w/o actually looking at all the lines and connections. So start there first. Make sure there's no leaks or ballooning.If you're having to add fluid here and there I'm sure there's a small leak somewhere. Fluid just doesn't disappear. The calipers *should* be able to slide back and forth a little. You might have to take them off and clean up the sliders a little bit.

I would start by checking your spelling...
