66 Pontiac Laurentian (bonneville) Brake issue

Hi there,

In the last couple of months i have started having a few issues with my brakes. The symptoms are in low speeds, the brakes are quite grabby and when slowing down from higher speeds such as 70kmph it feels as though the front left wheel is wobbling causing the whole car to wobble. I have taken it to a brake place who have replaced all of the wheel cylinders, and taken the master cylinder apart to find no fault. They are unsure whats going on, and i don't know what next to get it fixed. I have to travel 3 hours to a car show this weekend and would love the brakes to behave!!. Help!! Thanks, Pete

I take it that the pads have been checked/replaced?

Likely these are four-wheel drums, not discs. The linings are suspect, however, as you inquired.
