| when i push on the brakes and almost to a stop it make a noise like something is loose. I checked it out and did not see anything loose. Could it be air in the lines causing the noise.it sounds like the front is going to fall off. Any thoughts will be helpful.
Thanks |

Hi Pat - air in the lines wouldn't cause a sound like something is going to fall off.
Are you sure it's coming from the brakes, and not something else up front? Also, can you describe the noise a bit better?

| it sounds like the calipers are moving and if i hit the brakes fast it will do it right away and the whole front shakes.Maybe the brakes got to hot and glazed up so now they don't grip right. |

Okay, this is easy, warped front rotors. It is causing the calipers to move as rotor turn causing noise and hard braking shudder confirms it. |
