Car pulls to left while braking, when brakes are cold

Are the pins the calipers slide on lubed and the caliper able to slide freely? (assuming sliding calipers) About the only thing that I can think of off the top of my head that would change once the brakes 'warmed' up. (the brake grease being thick when cold and the caliper sticking, then freeing up as it thined when it got warmer)

Bleed the brakes and call me in the morning.

~please follow warning lable before take'n prescription~

~:~ MarshMonster ~sips his crownroyal....and suggests...if it wasn't broke BEFORE you fixed it.....you broke it fix'n it~ ~:~

ps.

yeah yeah yeah.......

i know it's been awhile since the repair

do it yer way then

:)

The equalizer bushings are in need of cleaning, lube, or worn out.

possible scenarios:

1-left brake is doing extra work (grabbing) 2-right side brake is doing less work (sticking caliper) 3-alignment problem or tire problem

If it was my car, I'd jack up the front end, remove the tires, spin the rotors by hand and have a helper apply the brakes. Then I'd pull both calipers, inspect them, maybe even repack both front wheel bearings. Then reinstall the brakes being sure to lube the slide pins, swap the tires l-r and road test. Also inspect the front end while you have the tires off - maybe something has gotten bent or loose?

I think one of your calipers is sticking - either "off" or "on."

That's exactly what I thought, but you said it.

IMO, the only way to know the slide pins are lubed and working properly is to DIY.

Lg

try this...

go for a ride when the car is cold... apply the brakes a few times then stop and feel the temperature of the left and right rotors with your hand caution they may be very hot this will tell you if the left brake is working too hard or the right brake is working too little

It's a great way to get a burn... trust me... ;)

Then stick your head inside the exhaust manifold and sing a few bars of "Danny Boy." Let us know whether you hear an echo . . .

Sorry.

I thought you were joking, maybe. But I bled the line going to the passenger side front brake and it stopped pulling ! Must have been partially clogged.

Thanks

btw I also tried the lubing of the slide pins, which some other folks recommended (thanks for all the suggestions) but that didn't help.
