1999 2500 brake pull

[2serious]

Hey I have a problem with a 1999 2500 disc in front drum rear. Rear abs only. Here's what I've done. New calipers. Pads. Hub bearings. Lines from master to calipers. Steering components. Rotors. Tires. And bleed em about four times. The rear has also new cylinders drums and pads. Any ideas?

I'm guessing that it is pulling to one side over the other? Or maybe it feels like the brakes are on all the time?

We might be able to help if we know what's going on lol

Sorry lol yes pulling to the right when stepping on the brakes

Did you replace your flex hoses up front?

 

[2serious]

Yup

 

[txbass06]

When it pulls, do you feel it in the steering wheel?
And what order did you bleed the brakes?

 

[2serious]

Yes whole truck makes right turn. And yes pulls the steering wheel. You can hold it and fight it. Left side brake works also. Seems like the right is just stronger

 

[2serious]

Sorry the order was farthest to closest. Never had a problem before with brakes pulling was only as simple as a caliper a hose or air. I'm a mechanic by trade so not my first rodeo. Just super stumped here.

Something to check is the possablity of the left side not apply enough? did you double check the sliders when you put the new calipers on? Also witht he new caliper did you double check how the line connected tot he caliper. Sometimes the little hole in the bolt doesn't line up giving the illusion one is pulling harder than the other.

Just a couple thoughts.


Edit: Well we posted at the same time. But sometimes its the stupid simple things.

Yes all sliders clean free sliding awesome. I ordered another set of calipers just for the hell of it. Never know get a defective one or something. Start there and I'll report back tommorow. Thanks for the tips

 

[Bigtman07]

[2serious]
