wierd brake problem
 

ok i should know what the problem is but i cant get this one?

ok just replaced the lower balljoints and now it wonders a little to the right nothin big.but when i hit the brakes it pulls left?

Re: werid brake problem
 

if it pulls left im guessing the right side may be frozen or partially blocked. you can jack it up and see if you can have someone hold the brake and see if the right side wheel turns or you can first try bleeding the right side . If that doesnt help then the rubber line and or caliper. I would also try to flush as much of the old brake fluid as i could at that point..

On edit yeah i shoulda said allignment first unless this is a real hard pull then you can bet its in the brakes

+ an alignment

Re: wierd brake problem
 

My guess is the camber changed with the new ball joints. Do an alignment before you do the brake work unless the pull was present before the chassis work. jay

Did you Take the calipers off? did the brake hose wind up with a twist in it?

Re: wierd brake problem
 

Thats exactly what i was thinkin too

Re: wierd brake problem
 

yes we are going to do alignment at school thursday.but it never had this problem befor i did the ball joints,we did have the calipers off when i had it all apart,ill go look if i twisted a line or somthing.

the funny thing is,i took my ASE test on brakes and was 1qestion away on passing it,so i should know this lol
