Default 1990 Suburban breaking issues

Hello, gents

I am having issues with my burb breaking at the moment. When coming to a stop the breaks are slow to respond and then they seem to slam on. Sounds like I am slamming a stack of books onto the hood.

As of now I have simply visualy inspected the fluid levels which are good and done as good of an inspection as I can with my flashlight through the wheel and the rotor seems to be clear of any damage.

This seems to only happen in forward.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

More specs on the vehicle..

1990 Suburban 1500 2wd

Front breaks were replaced as well as the rotors this past spring.

I can do the work, I just suck at troubleshooting. Nothing in my hanes/chilton mention the symptoms I am having.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.

No it does not have the RWAL installed on it.

The only two things I can think to check would be the power brake system and check the calipers and pads.
