Default intermitent brake pedal to the floor... HELP!

please someone help me with this, after i make an abrupt change of direction (sharp turn, or forward to reverse) my pedal will go to the floor, but only once then it pumps right back up. my first thought air in the lines or master cylinder. bled all the lines, rr-lf-lr-rf in that order, still does it. replaced the master cylinder... still does it! does anyone know anything please help!!! i just spent $1900 on a whole new front end cause it was wrecked i don't wanna wreck it again!

First of all, DON'T DRIVE IT...under ANY circumstance. You're putting your own life and others at risk.

Look around for vacuum lines that might be busted. I'm not sure, but you may have a bad MC or Booster. The only thing I can think of that would be caused by direction changes would be not enough fluid, or something being pinched by a moving part while turning (although I highly doubt that).

solved my own problem, earlier this week i did my clutch and my buddy put some lowering springs on while i was swapin the clutch. he put the front struts on backwards, so the clearance for the axle on the strut fork was facing outwards, every time i turned the wheel the fork was pushing my caliper away from my rotor. swaped them around and no more problems...
