Just a guess but do you have antilock brakes?

SO do Camaros have vaccum boosts or do they use PS fluid as a boost?

yes it has abs, but if they were not working right it would show ABS INOP on the dash. right?

as far as the rubber hosing, what and where would I get something that would be better.

and the rotors are most likely my problem.. at high speeds the car shakes around, and when the brake is applied, it feels like you are going over a million speed bumps haha
I at least want to replace the rotors and calipers.. i always replace both as sets at the same time..

I've never seen this problem before, so that's why I'm trying to get someone's advice on it, thought maybe someone might have had this problem before..

you are now describing a total different problem than you were at the beginning of this thread. you have described a bunch of different symptoms and say you're going to change almost the whole braking system?

do yourself, and others on the road, a favor. it really sounds like you don't know too much about working on cars (we were all there one day) so here's what you should do. go to a professional and have your brakes AND front-end looked at, have them diagnose the problem and then pay them. you might think it is a waste to pay them to find out what is wrong but it sounds like you are going to waste a lot more money(not to mention time and aggravation) chasing problems on your own

im posting new symptoms as they arise. I've never encountered brake steer before, so that is why I posted the thread. And i've stated already that it is SITTING. If its that big of a deal i'll just abandon the thread. I've been working on cars since i was a little kid. My dad is a mechanic, Why go pay a **** load of money when it can be done on my own? I just ordered rotors, calipers, and a master cylinder, they should all be in tomorrow afternoon.

The rubber hoses are real bad about swelling. I replace them every time a vehicle reaches 100K miles.

easy there partner, I am just trying to save him some money.

I used to do that all the time. I would take my car to a front-end shop for the free estimate and let them diagnose the problem, then I would go home and fix it myself. it saved me hundreds of dollars and a lot of wasted time and effort.

also t4nk, I don't believe you said before that your dad is a mechanic. he should be able to help you out on this one.

they have vaccum boosters. usually only bigger trucks use hydraulic boosters
