Car pulls when braking????
Thursday, March 30, 2006 11:04 AM
I've got a 2000Z and just had the brakes done about 6 months ago, so they are fine, but the car is pulling to the right when braking hard. It almost feels as if one back wheel is locking up more than the other. Also, the ABS has seemed very sensitive for the past while?

Anyone have an idea as to what it may be??

Thanks

Frozen caliper maybe, check your rear wheel sclenders for leaks.

Pulls when braking is do to a froze up calipeer. So if it pulls to the right, your left on is bad because it isnt pushing the piston to the pad to contact the rotor.

Usually a stuck wheel cylinder will just cause the rear wheel to lock up and activate your ABS. I would bet you have a bad flexible rubber hose on the left caliper.


God bless America.
