Brake pedal goes long
My 53 plate STi type Uk brake pedal goes long after hard cornering.
It seems like the pads are being knocked back into the calipers. Did it a little from new, but it seems much worse now. Wheel bearings seem ok, but only tried pulling the top of the wheel with the cars weight on it so far.
Anyone else had this problem and solved it ?
Car will be out of warrenty in September, so I am giving the car a thorough check well before then,

Yes ive had it and it was the wheel bearings or n/s bearing to be more precise.Had no play in bearing either when car was jacked up until the outer c/v(driveshaft nut) was undone and then the play was obvious and the bearing was totally shagged.
