Default advice on brakes....

I don't know what to make of this but everytime I take a tight corner or hammer round a roundabout, immediately after my brake pedal seems to hit the floor without any braking done...i usually have to pump the brake....any clue? pads are new and the disks are bit tired but i somehow think its not related to those two.

GC8, any clues?

thanks
Shof

Wheelbearing I would say too!!

As your cornering the disk is moving about due to worn bearing and forcing the pistons into the caliper, you pumping the brakes is squaring up the disk before it can be used for braking!!
