2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Front brake pull

[KMacnicol]

I have a front brake pull that I have been fighting for a while now, any input would be appreciated. I have replaced the following parts (calipers(2 times),pads(2 times),hoses. We pressure bled the system, used silicone greese on the slides, filed the caliper mounting area. The first time I turned the rotors and replaced the pads it went away for about 2 weeks then came back. When I replaced the calipers the second time the pull SWITCHED SIDES. So I tried a different set of pads and turned the rotors again, same deal went away for a couple of weeks then came back. I have also replaced the ball joints, pittman arm and had a front end alignment done. Rear brakes are in good shape and adjusted properly. HELP!!!

I had that problem for a while and it turned out to be the tires. It's worth a swap to check.

New rotors, not turned, fixed my severe pull. I suspect microscopic cracking of the rotors may have been part of my truck's problem, although I couldn't prove that. Nick.

Same goes for me new rotors fixed my front end pulling problem. I did not bother turning them they were to far gone. They had stress cracks all over them.

I had a bad brake hose. One was balooning a little and not letting the correct pressure get to the caliper. Loaded calipers and surfacing the rotors didn't help. Brake hoses did the trick. or. .

"A suspension problem can be magnified when braking" quoted from a brake expert friend of mine. It MAY not actually be a brake problem. Hope I helped.

I second what scotmartin said. I did the same thing you did and could not get rid of it. If you eased into the brakes, it would stop straight. If you used moderate to hard pressure it would dart to the left. I replaced the right side brake line, and it took care of the pull. -Nicholas
