Pulling Brakes

[dickeymoore]

I have a 1984 Chevy C-10 pickup truck that pulls to the left when the brakes are applied,I thought it was the right caliper but after replacing the caliper and new brakes the truck still pulls to the left when I apply the brakes any HELP?THANKS

Just how much work did you do to the brakes?It would be helpful if you could name all components you repaired/replaced.I have a 1998 GMC that did the same thing,only it was a brake line that was pinched in the upper A arm.Also,does your truck dip and pull at the same time?Maybe a suspension issue (broken spring or mount).Let me know what all you have done and I'll ask some other GM truckies to see if we can help.

I agree with the last reply. One other thing, the left caliper could be hanging up and reacting faster than the right. Possible too that your master cylinder is bad. Did you bleed both sides?

CHECK THE STEERING LINKAGE before looking at anything else. If all is tight then start going after brake components.
