I recently replaced the entire braking system on my 69 LeBaron Coupe. Yesterday was my first chance to drive the car.
This is always an exciting proposition after major brake works has been done, even if you are sure that everything was done correctly.
Everything looked good and worked great. The car stopped well and the pedal feel was firm and high up. The only problem is that the car pulls to the left.
I replaced the master cylinder all wheel cylinders (CalipersOnline calipers at front), pads, shoes and front rotors (Dura Brake).
After I had completed the assembly I checked the run out of the rotors. The DS was 0.007" and the PS was 0.003" and the DS front wheel is noticeably more difficult to turn than the PS front wheel. Is this causing the pulling?
If so it seems that the remedy is to have my brand new rotors turned to make them more true. Not what I had anticipated!
