IML: Brake Pull

["Eric" <gearhead@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try switching rotors and see if the pull follows?

Well, if it makes you feel any better Fred, I replaced all the brake 
components on my 67 Chrysler 300 with the Budd discs. Used the DuraBrake 
rotors and Dot 4 Valvoline synthetic brake fluid.? My first drive of the 
car, the brakes felt good but there was a DEFINITE pull to the right when 
braking.
The car was still being worked on by my restoration team. I told them to 
check that out. They said same thing about the rotor run-out. They turned 
the rotors to spec and the pull was gone. I've driven about 1,000 miles 
since then. Now, for some reason, I'm getting a pull to the left....go 
figure!

As well, on a Mercedes mailing list I'm on, a few years back it was noted 
that a govt study showed that rotors do not necessarily need to be turned 
unless they are warped. There was no appreciable difference in braking 
ability nor in wear.
For the pulling to one side, most often steering components or bushings in 
the suspension are at fault. If one wheel turns by hand ALOT more 
difficulty, maybe therein lies the trouble, but it would have to be alot of 
resistance. Maybe a seized caliper? Dick B. is spotlessly on the mark as a 
rule, hoses should be renewed periodically.
