Default Hey Tech Brakes

I have now replaced both control arms. both brake calipers,both brake rotors, and both front brake lines and rotated tires. Mech said ball joints and all other ft end parts good. The only thing I did not replace was the pads as they are still about 1/2 good still. They are semi metallic pads. I get a sharp pull to left when I mash brakes for just a second and then it gos straight. Can you give any ideas on this? Am thinking about replacing pads now. It is not near as bad now as it was but still get some pull

Default You need to go all the way.

After all you did you kept OLD pads which could have been the problem in the first place. I'll keep it short, put on new pads, even cheep ones will do. Make sure the rotors are absolutely GREASE & BREAK FLUID FREE. Use break clean liberly. If it still pulls, even a little, you got a bad caliper, not all rebuilt stuff works correctly. Also make sure there is no air in that line, check that first.
My 2 cents worth, Rockford
