Hello all, I'm new to this web site ... My question is ... When braking, I pull to the right ... I had the front calipers replaced, the struts replaced, the T/C bushings replaced and the brake lines replaced along with a wheel alignment ... The mechanic said that the next thing to check is pressure to the calipers ... Has anyone ever had a problem like this ? Or does anyone think it might not be the brakes ... There is no leaking of the rack and pinion or the rear brakes ... A new brake booster was also installed ... This brake pulling was happening before all the replacements ... I need help with this problem ... Thanks for all the help ... Rowz

Did you replace any of the rear brake components yet?

No ... The mechanic said it has nothing to do with it ... Even though pulling the emergency brake while driving and seeing if it pulls was suggested ...

What if your rear Driver's side brake caliper/drum is not working.

Did you replace the rotors and pads also?

When bleeding fluid any problems with Pass Side?

Car drives straight except when braking?

What do the discs look like? Check the pass side inside and out. Then you might check the hard line to the driver's side to make sure it is not pinched or so old that flow is reducing the fluid pressure to zero.

Did your mechanic mention anything weird about how it bled the fluid?
