brake sensitvity
My Car is a 94 Cavalier,i just got my license a week ago and i was curious about the brake pedal, it seems i almost have to push it to the floor before it even starts to break, i was wondering if there was a way to make it more sensitive.
Thanks Ahead of Time

Re: brake sensitvity
i see this everyday....check the master cylinder..if low then pads/shoes are low or you have a hydraulic leak somewhere(caliper/wheel cylinder)....less likely is parking brake very mis adjusted...suggest taking to a shop for full brake system eval

Re: brake sensitvity
More than likely you need to have the rear brakes adjusted. My advice, if you aren't sure of what's going on and don't know how to check yourself, is to take it to a professional - brakes are pretty darn important.
