Title: Brakes pulling on one side
Post by: Neville Minuti on August 06, 2019, 12:10:02 PM

Hi
Recently I changed the following:
Master cylinder
Shoes for the 4 wheels
All Wheel cylinders - front larger than the rear
Brake rubber hydraulic pipes of 4 wheels.

Now I have the car pulling on one side, i.e. the front right wheel and rear left wheel are braking well.

What could the problem be?

Thanks,
Neville

The self adjusters on the shoes may be stuck and might not have adjusted yet, on a clear road stamp on the brake pedal, do some emergency stops forward and reverse see if it improves

It seems that only one hydraulic circuit is working properly then. As far as i Know there are 2 hydraulic circuits that operate the brakes - one front and one rear wheel, independently. Something must be up with one of the circuits, ie. a clogged pipe or air in the pipes. try bleeding the brakes again and see if that helps….
