brake issues
My brakes have noise, I am hearing a bumping noise when stopping and when hitting a bump, the break pedal pulsates and at times feel like they do not what to grab. It is like the anti lock system is engaging as if there is wheel slipping. The master cylinder was changed and the person did not bench bleed the unit. the pedal goes to the floor and at times the system seems to grab harder at different times on each side of the car causing a rocking motion of the car. Does anyone have an idea what is going on?

but he did miss some air. If he didn't bench bleed the MC then there is probably air in the lines somewhere. Which would make it grab on one side but not the other and also the pedal going to the floor. Bleed all your brake lines starting with the farthest from the MC (with fresh fluid) and it should clear up.
