A few issues, both brake related I think
So in the past 6 months or so I have noticed a few things going on in regards to my 2003 Acura TL-S.
1. If the car sits overnight in my garage, I go to get in the car and push the brake as I start the car as a force of habit. The brake is rock hard until the car starts and the pressure normalizes. This is nothing TL related but I'm sure someone has had this happen in the past. I would hope it's something small like brake line fluid needing to be flushed, but worried it could be worse like a MC going bad?
2. The other issue I am having is as I'm coming to a stop, close to the end of the stop, I feel and hear a clunk. The clunk I can feel in my braking foot and hear somewhere just in front of me on the drivers side. It also happens when I release the brake from stop once in a while. I can reproduce it quite often as I'm driving. Not sure if I need to worry about it or if it's a big issue that I should look into now?
Cheers!
