1999 S10 Extreme Pulling Hard To Pass Side When Breaking

3FAN4EVR · July 2, 2010

Hi There, I resently did my brakes all the way around my truck. New rotors,pads, drums,shoes, and flushed brake fluid. After about 2 weeks it started to pull hard to the pass side while breaking. After this I thought it might be a siezed caliper or bad flex line, so I put new calipers, new flex lines and new pads on both sides. After about 2 weeks again it started to pull hard to the pass side under breaking. Has anyone had this same problem? Anyone know what might be causing the problem? Could there be a problem with the ABS. unit? Let me know .

Air in the lines? Are they all properly bleed?

what type of vehicle and how many miles does it have on it?

x2 first thing i would do is make sure they're bled properly.

1999 S10 Extreme- Bled brakes over @ over, switched rotors left to right, switched flex lines left to right,switched calipers left to right, changed ABS unit, even changed rear wheel cylinders. Right front wheel is hoter than the left and also has more brake dust. STILL PULLING TO THE RIGHT!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Good luck, my S-10's right front always did more braking than the left front. It never really pulled hard or anything but the right front wheel was always twice as dirty as any of the other. I had pads, rotors, calipers, and portioning valve (or whatever they are called) replaced several times and nothing made it better, but it was never really that bad either.

the right rear drum/disc if ZR2 could be actually pulling the front to the right, it might not be the front pass, it could be the rear pass doing it. can't count how many times i've noticed the sliders locked up and the caliper is not centering on the rotor, wearing out the inner or outer pad and making it pull to one side wicked bad. tear it apart and see what is going on.

If the right front caliper is causing it, the wheel will turn hard right if you let go of it and brake from about 30 (empty parking lot recommended).
