Hello everyone I was out cruising today and when braking the car pulls to the right
I think it's sticking ? Do they get greased or do you think a replacement is needed
Thanks John

Calipers are not greased. Your problem may not be the brakes. Is the alignment good?

It seems to be more prominent when braking strong from high speeds

Pulling to the right means there is a low performing brake on the left side. Probably the left front. Is there any wetness from brake fluid on the pads? mike...
