When I brake hard, I feel a slight delay reaction where it feels like I got hit in the back or like the rest of my car just caught up or something. I'll check the motor mounts again but it feels like its coming from rear. Any suggestions on what to look for?
Is there an associated noise? How long is the delay? All brake delays feel like they can be measured with a calendar but actually its micro-seconds usually,anyway, explain your version of "delay". Are there any signs of a bent or binding shock? Safe to assume you put your fancy pads on new rotors? Aside from upgraded rear sway bar links, did you inspect and/or alter the rest of the suspension. Some aftermarket and OEM components don't play well together.
You might ask a local tire shop or dealer to ride with you and show them the delay and associated action, bump, thump, whatever it is. Usually a ride, if you can duplicate it more than once and quickly, will be a free ride and perhaps some suggestions. I wouldn't tell them you do a lot of your own work.
As a 30 year mechanic, I would like you to explain the problem before the drive, point it out when it happens and then be quiet. Don't recite your self taught repair resume or offer suggestions or ask what 10 other noises are and what the light on the dash means, nobody likes to be taken advantage of when offering assistance.Let the man or woman assigned to go for the ride, do their job.
