My wifes 2004 S80 is driving me crazy..

About three week ago my wife told me that her car was pulling to the right when she applied the brake.

Thinking the caliper was sticking, I replaced the caliper.

Now the car is pulling to the left.

Replaced the left caliper.

Still pulling to the left.

Replaced both rotors and rotated tires front to back

Still pulling

Called FCP and they sent me another new right caliper....no change.

Just got done replacing the brakes lines...still pullls to the left


Any ideas?


Around 10k miles ago I replaced the following front end parts.
-Struts
-Strut bearings
-Lower control arms (bushings and ball joints)
-Sway bar link
-Front end alignment

 

Have you tried bleeding the passenger side rear brake caliper after your done?

 

Yes.

Three times

 

Are the lower control arm bushings broke?

 

No. I replaced the lower control arm along with the bushings and ball joint less than 10k miles ago.

 

The last time that I replaced al lof the parts that you've changed and still had a problem I found that one of the brake hoses was bad. Always change them in pairs just like calipers. You might want to invest in a pressure bleeder as well. Good luck

 

Hi there...been having the exact same issue as you, but pulling to the right...quite scary at highway speeds. In the end, it was one of the left side lower control arm bushing (one that attaches to the underbody)...the bushing was almost gone and the CA was almost resting on the frame! anyways i changed both lower control arms and the problem is gone...now i may have other issues to deal with..hahah g'luck!

have you checked the struts and strut mounts?

 

I'm in the brake line camp...
