Pulling Brakes

[PROTOTYPE]

Replace calipers in pairs as good practice.Replace the brake hoses because the are old.They are very inexpensive,like 14 bucks each. and while you are all dirty,adjust the rear brakes.out of adjustment rear shoes can make the car pull. also NEVER let the calipers hang on the hoses.

My thoughts exactly. May seem a lot but remember that brakes (amongst other things) is to stop the car aka save your life and others once you are moving. Good luck with the repair. Let us know how it goes. \/

Low tire pressure in one side will cause a "brake" pull too. Just a thought.

I think it may be the brake hose cause if I loosen it up from the caliper the fluid drips real slow compared to the other side any HELP.THANKS

Pulling brakes is caused by bad brake hose most of the time.

Having a stuck caliper/pad can cause it to pull to the side that's actually stuck. If you only replaced the one opposite the side it was pulling to, you need to replace the other.

Ya beat me to it again, Supe! That's why checking caliper temps helps when troubleshooting brake problems. If one caliper is a lot hotter than the other after normal driving, you can bet it's stuck & almost definitely on the side the car pulls to.
