Sierra brake? problems
Sierra brake? problems
on a friends sierra, everytime you get on the brakes it pull towards the left in a bad way. we assume its a a problem with the right hand side caliper not working properly, but whats a good way to test for sure and what possibly causes it??

clamp off brake lines one at a time, then test to see if its the same or worse. ( be careful and safe of course ) that will pinpoint which brake to inspect...it can be the rear causing that, too.... but Its most likely a caliper slide bolts sticking, they rust up when the seals leak and fill with mud/water, and so only brake one side of disc....this sometimes affects pedal height, too. I recently pulled mine out, sanded the slides, then assembled with better seals and greased it up(theres probly some correct oil for it, and caliper kits may come with new ones?)
