another thing that went wrong with my car, are my brakes. my uncle
replaced all of my brake lines because one had broke. ever since then, my brakes are really hard to push on. like i have to pump them hard to get my car to come to a stop. he bled the brake lines and they are still not acting normal. when i push on the brake, it's very hard and stiff. i have to stop way ahead of time to make sure that i'm going to be able to come to a complete stop. any ideas on what this could be?
