2003 el250 van brake trouble

Feb 04, 2007 3 Replies

Dealership put front brakes and tires on the van. Now when put the brakes on the van pulls left. Taken it back to them and get a different reason each time. Bad ball joint, needs new brake line. All this happens after the new brakes are put on. Ya right. I say it is in the brakes. What your ideas on this? Thanks



It could be that you need to get your alignment fixed. Otherwise, it is probably a problem with the brakes or the tires.

They did a alignment when they did the brakes and tires.

They need to pull the calipers off, regrease the slide rails and check the pad installation. If it still pulls only when braking, you need a caliper replaced. That should be under your warranty if you're still under warranty. The pads, of course, were not, as wear items. Calipers aren't wear items.
