Title: Need help with my fe ute. It pulls to the right when I brake
Post by: perth_fe_ute on November 13, 2008, 12:41:39 AM
Hello. I am trying to find out why my ute pulls to the right when I brake. It is not very noticable with lite braking but gets worse with more brake pressure. I have changed the wheel bearings, calipers and disc pads. I have also had a wheel alignment but still no luck and thus need ideas. Could it be the wheel bearing or the disc width?

You mentioned wheel alignment - did you get the tyres balanced as well? Is there any wear one one side of the tyres or other?

do you have even pressure in the left hand side flex line, how old are the flex lines.

The calipers are like brand new, brake shop did well. The brake lines are new also. I have been thinking either bleeding or camber from another post. Will bleed the brakes again this weekend and see if there is any improvement. Its alwasy good fun trying to get a car ready for a police inpection.... ???

when you say new brake lines is that the rubber lines or both?
definately could be air in line ,more chance of air cause it s so much longer than the right,
did you spend the same amount of time bleeding on both sides?

Have you checked the rear brakes? The car will still pull one way or the other other if the rear is dragging
