Brakes pull
Hi all;
I have been chasing a problem for a while now.
on a 87 , When you step on the brakes the car pulls to the right
It feels like the right front clamps before the left front.
New GM pads
New L/F caliper
New L/F brake hose
New Master cylinder
Bleed all calipers
Also i have noticed that you have to push very firmly on the
brake pedal. ( more than my other car with power brakes)
Is this normal?
Any help? Thank you. Craig

Put a new caliper and hose on the right. You can't expect the old right side caliper to work like the new left side caliper. The piston in the right caliper is probably stuck in the out position, thus it's grabbing more rotor. Or the sliders in the calipers mount are stuck, thus no side to side caliper movement.

I'd replace older calipers in pairs.
