Braking issues

hey guys, I fooled around and let the brake fluid get super low and when braking the truck would dive/pull hard to the right....now that I added fluid it is diving/pulling hard to the left....did i get an air bubble in the line?...oh and its def coming from the front brakes. Anyone have this issue before?

Re: Braking issues

Yeah, it sounds like you need to bleed your brakes.

Re: Braking issues

If the fluid got low you have a leak. If it was me I would go thru the brake system.

Re: Braking issues

could be your brake pad lining could be worn thin and needing repaced. low fluid is a good indicator of this, but nomatter what you need to look at your brakes for leeks,brake shoes, or bad lines.

Yep, time for a bleeding. Also while you are doing that take a look at all of your brakes, there is a reason the fluid is low. Either you've got a leak somewhere, or your pads/shoes are worn. Either way the issue should be addressed for safety's sake.
