Pulling Brakes
The brakes on my truck (power front disc) have developed a pull to them when i use them. It seems to pull to the right failry bad. I haven't had much time to mess with it, but i am going home this weekend, so i will have somewhere that i can tear into it and get it fixed.
The front brake pads also need to be replaced (they squeal pretty bad). I'm not exactly a brake prodigy...i don't like brakes very much but i'm to broke to pay someone else to fix it. So...what should i start to look for that could make them pull? The steering wheel seems to always go right when i hit them, worse the harder i hit them. So that means the problem would be on the left side brakes? The truck has new rear wheel cylinders and shoes that have been on there for 8 months or so, and the brakes stop the truck pretty good. Think that it could be somehting as simple as the brakes being out of adjustment? Also, would worn front brake pads cause this? I sure hope so....less work for me to do that way Thanks for any help!
