Brakes on my 87 El Camino

With a 20,000 mile car? I've seen hoses cause a wheel to lock up and not release when they deteriorate, but not cause a car to not panic stop, that's normally caused by a stuck caliper or wheel cylinder. I still bet it's the wheel cylinders. But once again, "I'm just Sayin" Bill

Definitely what Bill says here, while you've got it in the air check and free up the front caliper slides to be sure the calipers are freely centering on the rotors. - Bill W
