Pulling Hard to the Left when Braking

(1/6) > >>

Bigmil:
So half wau through last season I began having a problem in which the brakes pull HARD to the left.  Like if I wasen't strongly holding the wheel it would turn the fron left wheel all the way to lock.

As of tonight I have replaced the front right caliper, all the brake lines (hard and flex), the pads, replaced the shims and the master cylinder.  And it still pulls hard.

When the car is up on jack stands and the pedal is depressed both of the front wheels stop to where I cannot spin the wheels.....

I don't know if the left side is pulling to hard or if the right is not pulling enough..

I have no idea what to do next.

Help!!

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you run a proportioning valve? If so, could you have the lines hooked up wrong?
On dirt, I run the prop valve on the RF, so when braking it will cut pressure to the RF, helping turn and set the car left

knoxracing:
It really sounds like you have replaced everything but the problem, lol. The left front caliper. Also make sure the pads are wearing evenly on both sides, if a pad is wearing at an angle you may have a bracket issue.

Bigmil:
I no longer have the proportioning valve.  I did last year, but when I replaced all the brake lines this year I left it out so I would have one less thing that go fail.

I just ordered a new fron t left caliper and another set a brake pads.  Strangly my current pads don't appear to be wearing at all let alone unevenly.  I'm wondering if the pads are messed up (so I am replacing them).

If it ain't this other caliper or pads I can only imagine I need to start re-replacing the hard lines again like something may have plugged them.....again.

I'm about to pull my hair out!

justfreaky:
The master cylinder has been bled as well as all calipers and wheel cylinders?
Getting good flow out of all brake cylinders and calipers?
Are both sets of front pads the same? (ie; both soft, medium or hard; Not mixed?)
Fresh brake fluid?
