Strange Brake Phenomenon

Hello YT'ers,
I have a strange occurence while braking when in loose gravel or on an uneven road or braking hard going into a parking lot for example. It feels like the anti-lock kicks in when it shouldn't. I feel it in the pedal like a shudder of sorts. I can't recall that this happened pre-lift. I notice it every once in a while. It feels like something is shifting...the pedal vibrates pretty good. Anyone else noticing this?

That sounds normal.....to the ABS gravel is like ice.

mud

do u go through mud because that can sometimes get up in your brakes and make that happen. BUt it may be normal. If it may be mud i'd just take a pressure washer to it.

Take your brakes apart and see if you've had any fluid leaks. That can sometimes cause brakes to bind a bit.
